Adding Tasks Using the Add Task Wizard
Tasks may be added only by Rack Power Manager software administrators.
Task: Backup Rack Power Manager software database and system files
This task creates a compressed .zip file containing a backup of your Rack Power Manager
software system. The backup file contains everything necessary to fully restore the Rack Power
Manager software hub server. The backup file is named rpmBackup.zip by default, but you may
also append the date and time to the end of the backup filename.
If a backup is restored to a server with a different IP address, managed appliances may not be
able to authenticate until the new Rack Power Manager server IP address has been programmed
into the managed appliances.
Once this task is added, you may run it on demand at any time; see Running tasks manually on
page 274. You may also create a backup manually; see Backing up and Restoring Hub Servers
Manually on page 71.
To add the task:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click Tasks in the top navigation bar. The Tasks window will open.
3. Click Add. The Add Task Wizard will appear.
