Use this procedure to perform a complete system backup for a DSC 8000 using a USB key.
The term configuration data refers to the system and application configuration data.
Log files, with the exception of the upgrade log associated with the application load, are not included in a complete system backup and restore.
License files are not compatible across cards, systems, and software versions; therefore, these files are also excluded from a complete system backup and restore.
Use a 16GB USB key for the DSC 8000 if this platform is running the x86_64 OS.
Insert the USB key into the either USB port on one of the Management CPUs or its respective RTM (slot 2 or 13).
Click Start System Backup.
The DSC 8000 automatically executes the complete system backup and a message is displayed to inform you when the backup is completed.
