The SBC EMA provides the ability to generate a system backup file. The user can restore the configuration files from the storage location. During this process, the system will restart and the user has to re-login, once the system is up and running. This is useful if you upgrade the SBC and need to reload the old configurations.

SBC provides an option to upload back-up files from an external source.  

Note

For any reason, if you wish to re-install the SBC Application, take a back up of the configuration to restore it when needed. The back-up files can now be stored in an external source. 

 

 

Note

All the back-up files should start with the naming convention:

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

or

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

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

The system creates and maintains daily automatic backups for the last seven days and you can take up to 10 configuration backups.

 

Perform the following tasks to Restore the configuration :

  1. Navigate to Administration > System Administration > Backup/Restore.

    System backup/Restore Screen

  2. Highlight the file from the list of Last Backup which you want to restore.

  3. Click Restore. A confirmation message is displayed seeking your permission to load the selected configuration and to restart the applications on active/standby servers as shown below:

    Backup Current Software

  4. Click OK to load the selected configuration file and to restart the applications on both Active and Standby servers.
