Data backup
The Management application helps you to protect your data by backing it up automatically. The
data can then be restored, as necessary.
NOTE
Backing up data takes some time. It is possible that, in a disaster recovery situation, configuration
changes made after the last backup interval will be missing from the backup.
The Management application allows you to view the backup status at a glance, initiate immediate
backup, enable or disable automatic backup, reconfigure the backup directory, interval, and start
time, and retrieve backup events.
What is backed up?
The data is backed up to the following directories:
Backup\databases — contains database and log files.
Backup\data — contains M-EOS switches Element Manager data files (including Dump files,
Data collection progress files, Director/Switch firmware files FAF files, Switch technical
supportSave, and Switch backup files) and Fabric OS miscellaneous files.
Backup\conf – contains the Management application configuration files.
Backup\cimom – contains the SMIA configuration files.
