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, page 6-63).

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.

Procedure

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 machine.

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.
