User's Guide

This window is also used to edit existing backup schedules.
In the Job Name field, add a name for this backup schedule.
If the Settings field is not expanded, use the icon to expand the field. By default, the destination for
the backed up configuration is always on the Extreme AirDefense appliance. For more information on
how configuration backup works and to know where the backup files are stored locally on the Extreme
AirDefense system, see the topic How Backups Work on page 279 in this document.
If you require that your configuration backup is stored on a remote sever, click the Remote option. The
Settings field expands to show more fields. Configure the following:
Field Description
Host The IP address of the remote server on which to store the backup
configuration.
Port The port number on which the remote server is listening to
incoming connections.
Select Protocol The protocol to use to connect to the remote server. Can be one of:
• HTTP

Path The destination directory on the remote sever where the backup
configuration files will be stored.

Retries The number of attempts that will be made to connect to the remote

the range of 1-5 attempts. Extreme AirDefense will stop trying to
connect to the remote server once it has tried this many number of
times.
