Controller Backups and Restoration
You can create a backup on demand by creating and collecting a flash backup from the controller. Daily backups
are also created. At a minimum, there are four backup files:
l Two daily backups
l One backup from last week
l One backup from last month
The backup saved from a firmware upgrade is automatic and requires no manual intervention. All backups can
be saved or restored and are displayed on the Audit page. You can only perform a backup on a device if the
firmware version of the device and the backup image are identical. After you click Restore, the device on which
the restoration is being performed automatically switches from monitor mode to maintenance mode. After you
restore a backup image to a device, you must restart the controller.
