Configuration file backup and restore<br />

3-18 General System Tasks<br />

3. To edit the list <strong>of</strong> files that will be included in the backup, click Edit<br />

Include List. A file editor window is displayed, containing a list <strong>of</strong> the files<br />

and directories that will be backed up. In this window, you can add or<br />

delete files or directories to include in the backup.<br />

Note: By default, previous backups are not included in a new backup. If you want to<br />

include previous backup files in a current backup, you must add the<br />

/var/backups/repository file path to the Include List.<br />

4. To edit the list <strong>of</strong> files that will be excluded from the backup, click Edit<br />

Exclude List. A file editor window is displayed, containing a list <strong>of</strong> the<br />

files that will NOT be backed up. You can add or delete files from the<br />

exclude list as desired. (Only individual files can be added or deleted<br />

from the Exclude list. You cannot include directories in the Exclude list.)<br />

5. The Local Backup Files area provides a list <strong>of</strong> current configuration<br />

backups stored on the local <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> hard disk repository. To<br />

delete a backup file from the list, highlight one or more backups that<br />

you want to delete and click Delete.<br />

6. To begin the backup process, click the Save.<br />

Important: You must remove the diskette before the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> reboots or the<br />

reboot process will fail.<br />

Restoring configuration files using the Admin Console<br />

To restore configuration files using the Admin Console, follow the<br />

steps below.<br />

Note: You must restore configuration files from a backup file that was created at the<br />

same version as the system to which you are restoring (for example, if your system is<br />

currently running at version <strong>6.1.1</strong>.00, you can only perform a restore using a version<br />

<strong>6.1.1</strong>.00 configuration backup file).<br />

1. In the Configuration Action field, select Restore.<br />

2. In the Backup To or Restore From field, select the type <strong>of</strong> restore you<br />

want to perform:<br />

Floppy Diskette—Select this option to restore from a floppy<br />

diskette.<br />

Local <strong>Sidewinder</strong>—Select this option to restore from the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> hard drive.<br />

Remote <strong>Sidewinder</strong>—Select this option to restore from a different<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Note: The Local Backup Files area provides a list <strong>of</strong> current configuration backups<br />

stored on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> hard disk repository.
