Managing Network Plans 503

Managing Network 3WXM Services regularly backs up network plans, at configurable

Plansintervals. In addition to these regular backups, you can create a backup at any time.

You can create a backup from within 3WXM or at a command line. From within 3WXM, you also can change the settings for automatic backups.

To manage backups, use the Backup/Restore dialog. To access this dialog, select Tools > 3WXM Backup/Restore from the menu bar in the main 3WXM window.

The backups that already exist for the network plan are listed. Backups that are automatically created by 3WXM do not have names, and their type is Automatic. Backups that you create do have names, and their type is Manual. Only the backups for the currently open plan are listed.

By default, backups created automatically by 3WXM are stored in the following location:

3WXM\backup\auto\plan_name

Backups created by you are stored in the following location by default:

3WXM\backup\manual\plan_name

3WXM zips the backup files and assigns them unique names. You can assign a name to a backup that you create. However, this name does not appear in the backup directory. To select a plan based on the name you assign, use the Backup/Restore dialog.
