Backing Up and Restoring Data
Backing up the WLSE saves its configuration data in case you need to restore the
data. When you select Administration > Appliance > Backup and Restore, the
following options appear:
•Configure—Set the backup location (see Specifying the Backup Location,
page 6-61).
Before a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system can be used for backups, it
must be configured—see Configuring a Windows 2000 or Windows XP
Server as a Backup Location, page 6-62.
•Backup—Back up data, including all Wireless LAN Solution Engine role and
user information (see Backing Up Data, page6-63).
•Restore—Restore an available backup image (see Restoring Data,
page 6-64).

Specifying the Backup Location

The backup location must be running an FTP server, because the Wireless LAN
Solution Engine uses FTP to transfer the backup data.

Step 1 Select Administration > Appliance > Backup and Restore > Configure.
Step 2 Enter the hostname/IP for the backup location.
Step 3 Enter the username you use on the backup location ma chi ne .
Step 4 Enter the password you use on the backup location machine.
Step 5 Reenter the password to verify that it is correct.
Step 6 Optional—Specify the path to which the backup image is saved.
When specifying the path on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP server:
•Use either forward slashes (/) or backslashes (\) as the directory separators.
