How To Backup
NMS200 simplifies backing up devices so you always have their configuration files, even if
the one on the device becomes corrupted or out-of-date.
Tip: You can back up several devices at once for what amounts to a “group
o
peration.” Select more than one device by Ctrl+clicking in the expanded
portlet, then right-click as outlined below. You must expand portlets to
multi-select.
 Here are the steps to back up a device:
1. Make sure you have config
ured an FTP or TFTP server to handle the backup. See
Netrestore File Servers on page 30.
2.
Right-click a device in the Ma
naged Resources portlet.
3. Select File Management > Backup.
4.
Configure the subsequent Back
up Device screen.
This screen lets you configure the following:
• File Name — A text identifier for the file
• Description — A text identifier for the file
• Update User Label —
A text identifier for the file
• Email Settings —
Click add email to configure an email notification about this backup.
• Select Ta
rgets for Backup — This screen defaults to the device you selected in
Managed Resources. You can also click the Add Equipment to add individual devices,
or Add Groups to add groups, or Remove All to manage devices that appear in this
list of targets.
