Scheduling a Device
Backup Operation
1 As part of your disaster recovery plan, you have decided that you need a
backup of the software configuration of all devices on your network. You
decide to schedule the operation to take place out of work hours to
minimize the impact of the extra traffic on the network. To do this ensure
that all of the devices on your network are present in the current map.

window. Select Next on the Introduction step to display the Backup Type
step as shown in Figure 424
3 Select the Backup all 3Com devices radio button to back up all of the
supported 3Com devices in the network, then select Next.
4 The wizard displays the Backup Identification step, where you can enter a
label and some comments that will help you to identify the backup if you
ever need to restore a saved configuration as shown in Figure 438
