Network Wide Backup & Restore centralizes controller backup administration and storage by allowing all backup related activities to be managed at the INM platform.
The Network Wide Backup & Restore Release 1.0 features are listed below:
•Administration and Maintenance of all controller backups from 1 common graphical user interface on the INM platform.
•A centralized disk oriented storage solution for maintaining backups that is more reliable than remote tape archives. There is no longer a need to travel to remote controllers to collect backup tape archives.
•Ability to set the bandwidth consumption for the transfer of the remote backup to INM on an individual controller basis (OPCs only).
•Ability to schedule both recurring and one time backups on an individual controller basis.
•Ability to specify the storage disk used on an individual controller basis.
•Ability to maintain a specified number of backups before overwriting older backups (FIFO - First In, First Out)
•Ability to “ lock” a specified backup. If a controller’s configuration is very stable, and a certain backup has been tested, the customer might not want to have that backup overwritten by other scheduled backups. All other backups for that controller would continue to run, but would not overwrite this version. This would still allow for backups of some minor provisioning changes which might occur.
•Ability to support 2 levels of users: NOCADM for making schedule changes and READ ONLY for all others. Each installation of INM Backup & Restore can concurrently support a maximum of 1 NOCADM UI.
•Ability to initiate a restore, which transfers archived files back to the remote controller.
•Ability to support 150 controllers from each INM Backup & Restore installation where a controller can be an OPC, NP, or an EC1 MOA.
