Backup and restore
Introduction
The backup rules feature provides a mechanism for transferring the backup
files produced by an Automatic Equipment Data Dump (EDD) operation to
another location, such as an external File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.
The backup rules group of commands was introduced in CS 1000 Release
4.0 with the single rule type: Secondary Call Server (SCS).
The backup rules feature applies to both CP PII and CP PIV system
configurations, unless otherwise noted.
This feature does not actually perform an EDD, which must be initiated
through an appropriate command in LD 43.
Backup rules
The backup rule types are as follows:
•
FTP — an external FTP server is accessed for storing or retrieving
backup data.
•
FMD — fixed media device for storing backup data in a special directory
on the /u partition. A CP PII system stores the data on a local hard
drive, while a CP PIV uses an on-board CF card.
•
RMD — removable media device for storing backup data. The RMD rule
type is available only on a CP PIV system.
•
SCS — backup to the Secondary Call Server, the only backup rule
type which can be referenced from Geographic Redundancy Database
Replication Control (GRDRC) block.
FTP rule type
The FTP rule type provides the ability to store backup files on an FTP
server. This rule type defines the following six parameters:
•
Name — ranges in length from 0 to 30 characters. All characters are
supported with the exception of white space. Names do not have to
be unique.
•
IP address — specifies the FTP server IP address.
•
Login name — specifies the FTP server login name. Ranges in length
from 1 to 32 characters. All characters are supported with the exception
of white space.
•
Password — specifies the FTP server password. Ranges in length
from 1 to 32 characters. All characters are supported with the exception
of white space.
