Backing Up and Restoring an NSC Running Windows Server 2008
Step 1 — Save Network Configuration Information
If the console is being used to provide DNS, DHCP, and TFTP services for the dedicated service
LAN or you are using HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), HP Insight Remote Support Advanced,
and/or NonStop Essentials software on the console; it is particularly important to save your network
configuration information.
