Procedure 11: Back up configuration files and data files

1

At the ÒConsole Login:Ó prompt, type maint (if you are not already
logged in) and press [Return]. The default password is maint.

Insert the backup tape into the drive.

Ensure that the tape is a backup tape and not a system tape,
because any information on the tape will be overwritten by the
backup. Ensure that the tape is not write-protected.

Note: Ensure you use the correct backup tape. An IPE Module uses a
600-Mbyte tape. An Application Module uses a 155-Mbyte tape.

At the Òmaint>Ó prompt, type backdata and press [Return] to start
the backup process.
