Backup and Restore
RingMaster Services
RingMaster Services regularly back up network plans at configurable intervals. In addition to regular
backups, you can create a backup at any time. You can create a backup from within RingMaster or at
a command line. From within RingMaster, you change settings for automatic backups. To manage
backups, select Services > Backup & Restore. If RingMaster Services is already open in the
browser window, select Plan Management, then select Backup & Restore.
Existing backups for network plans are listed. Backups automatically created by RingMaster do not
have names, and their type is Automatic. Backups you create have names, and their type is Manual.
Only backups for the currently open plan are listed. By default, backups created automatically by
RingMaster are stored in the following location:
RingMaster\backup\auto\plan_name
Backups created by you are stored in the following location by default:
RingMaster\backup\manual\plan_name
RingMaster zips backup files and assigns them unique names. You can assign a name to a backup
that you create. However, this name does not appear in the backup directory. To select a plan based
on a name you assign, use the Backup/Restore dialog.
Backing Up a Plan
To immediately create a backup:
1. Select Services > Backup & Restore. If RingMaster Services is already open in the browser
window, select Plan Management, then select Backup & Restore.
2. Type a name for the backup in the Backup Name field.
3. Click Create Backup. When the backup is complete, it appears in the list of backups. (If you
do not see the backup, scroll to the bottom of the list.)
