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

C:\Program Files\<Install_Home>

. 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.

•

You have changed a disk and a

Use current disk

message displays.

To manually backup HAFM data:

1.

Locate these folders on

C:\<Install_Home>

, where

<Install_Home>

refers to the

directory in which the HAFM application is installed:
• \Server
• \Client
• \Call Home

Copy these folders to

X:\backup

. The

X

is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive where backups

occur. Overwrite the existing files.
