Backing up the Summit WM Controller database
When you backup the Summit WM Controller database, you can choose to do the following:
● Backup the Summit WM Controller database now
● Upload a backup to an FTP server
● Schedule when a backup occurs
● Schedule a backup and copy it to an FTP server
NOTE
Backing up the Summit WM Controller database and creating a software package backup are two different
processes. Backing up the Summit WM Controller database only involves creating a backup of specific content in
the Summit WM Controller database. For example, you can choose to backup configuration, logs, or audit
information. To create a backup of your operating system, use the software package backup functionality of the
software upgrade process.
