Updating Windows Cisco WCSUpdating Windows Cisco WCS
Do the following:
• If possible, stop all Cisco WCS User Interfaces (Stopping a Cisco WCS User Interface) to
stabilize the database.
• Stop Cisco WCS (Stopping the Cisco WCS Windows Application or Stopping the Cisco WCS
Windows Service).
• Manually create a backup directory with no spaces in the name, such as C:\WCS22_Backup\.
• From the Windows START button, select the Programs menu, and then select Cisco Wireless
Control System 2.2/Backup.
The backup script opens the Backup DOS window and the Select Backup directory window.
• In the Select Backup directory window, highlight the backup directory you created above and
click OK.
The backup database script creates subdirectories in the C:\WCS22_Backup\ directory, and
backs up the Cisco WCS database and the floor plan, building, and area maps to the
C:\WCS22_Backup\conf and C:\WCS22_Backup\mapimages directories.
Note: Be sure the directory name does not include any spaces, or the backup script
will generate error messages.
