Overview of NetSight Element Manager

If you change the default Maps and/or Exported Files directory (via the Directories

TIP Options available in the Tools—>Optionswindow), the Data File Manager will automatically back up any specified files that reside in the new default directories. Any files that reside in the original default directories, however, will no longer be backed up.

The following files and file types are included in the Backup Configuration file by default; they will be backed up and maintained in your backup directory as long as they reside in one of the defined backup directories.
