Add a backup profile and execute a backup
job
A backup profile defines the devices that are included in a backup job, and as an option, the
schedule with which the backup job occurs. For information about scheduling a backup job,
see the NMS300 Network Management System Application User Manual.
You must create a backup profile before you can back up the configuration of one or more
devices.
After you executed a backup job, you can use the backup file to restore device
configurations for the devices on your network. For more information, see
