Defining Backup/Restore Servers on a Client

Servers are defined from the Backup/Restore Menu, Screen 8-9. To define which machines (servers) may back up a client, enter option 1 on the Backup/Restore menu (Screen 8-9). This will display the menu shown in Screen 8-12.

Choose option 1 to define a server. The system will prompt for the client name and call address. It is essential when entering the call address of a server that the originating group name of the server be identical to the data switch's local address of the server.

Servers cannot define other LCS60s to back them up, however, a server can specify itself as its own client by means of the Centralized Backup/Restore Menu

Server (Screen 8-11), by choosing option 1.

Changing a Client to a Server

In the case in which you are reconfiguring a client to be a server, you must first delete all servers previously defined for the LCS60. Select option 2 on Screen 8-12 to delete the servers. This is required because a backup/restore server may not define other servers. You can convert a client to a server only if any existing server has been deleted. You can then add the server by selecting option 1 on Screen 8-12.
