Backing Up to a CD

The rack-mount HAFM appliance is backed up to a compact disk, rewritable
(CD-RW). As long as a CD-RW disk remains in the CD recorder drive of the
HAFM appliance, critical information from both the Element Manager and the
HAFM are automatically backed up to the CD-RW disk when the data directory
contents change or when you reboot HAFM.

Restoring Data from a CD

To restore data to HAFM, copy the three folders from the CD-RW
(

D:\Backup\

) and paste them in the root directory on the C drive (

C:\

). You

will be asked if you want to overwrite the existing files; click Yes.

Manual Backup Procedures

A full data backup occurs the first time that you configure any parameter on a new
HAFM appliance.

After this initial backup, a backup only occurs when any data changes or if the
HAFM appliance is rebooted. This backup is not a full backup, but only an
incremental backup of changed data.

You should do a manual backup to ensure that HAFM data is fully backed up to a
CD-ROM disk if any of the following occur:

You are changing or archiving these disks.

message displays.

To manually backup HAFM data:

1. Locate these folders on

C:\<Install_Home>

, where

<Install_Home>

refers to the directory where the HAFM application is

installed:

\Server

\Client

\Call Home

Copy these folders to

X:\backup

, where

X

is the drive letter for your CD-ROM

drive where backups occur. Overwrite the existing files.
