Note

The "loadConfig", "saveConfig", and "Backup/Restore" operations are not supported on SBC SWe cloud platforms. 

To revert an SBC SWe cloud platform back to a previous configuration, use the following pages instead:

The SBC EMA allows you to generate a system backup file you can use later to restore the system configuration. During this process, the system will restart and you must log in again once the system is up and running. This is useful if you upgrade the SBC and need to reload the old configurations. The system creates and maintains daily automatic backups for the last seven days and you can take up to 10 configuration backups.

Note

All the backup files should use one of the following naming conventions:

  • "config_<System_Name>_<File_Name>", and end with ".tar.gz"

or

  • "auto_backup_config_<System_Name>_<File_Name>", and end with ".tar.gz"

For example: "config_SBC001_BackupFile1.tar.gz" or "auto_backup_config_SBC001_BackupFile1.tar.gz".


Complete the following steps to create a system backup file:

  1. Select Administration > System Administration > Backup/Restore. 

    System Backup/Restore

  2. Click Yes, to backup the current system.

    Backup Current Software

  3. Enter the File Name Suffix.

  4. Click Save. Once the backup for the system is created, the SBC displays the following message:

    BackupRestore - Successful Message

  5. Click OK to complete the process.


Note

Select a file in the Last Backup list and then click the Delete icon (X) to remove/delete an existing backup file.
