8 Backing Up and Restoring Files
Saving Network Configuration
Before you make that backup, however, you should store the
current server and network configuration information into the
c/system/config/
directory, so that it too will be included in the
backup. The server and network configuration information is stored
in Flash memory on the server module. To copy it to the volume, use
the
Configuration Æ Save/Restore Configuration Æ Save
Configuration
page. Then make the disaster recovery tape(s).
Repeat those two steps every time you change any configuration
using the control panel, the installation wizard, or HD Server
Admin.
Summary
Every time you install a server or change its configuration:
1. Save the server/network configuration using
Configuration Æ
Save/Restore Configuration Æ Save Configuration
page.
2. Make a disaster recovery backup that includes:
•
c/system/config/
directory
(or
c/system/
to include logs)
• Parent directory structure of the directories and files
essential to your operations
3. Record it as a configuration restore tape(s) and label the date.
Recovering from Disaster
To use your disaster recovery tape(s) to restore the hardware and
file system from major loss—that includes failure of multiple disk
drives and possibly other components of the server—see chapter 11,
“Resolving Problems with Your Server”.
