To edit this list:

1.Create a file backup entry by using the text editor to type a new line that specifies the file name, or the *.XXX file extension (for all files of a similar type).

2.Save and exit the text file.

We encourage you to add the following files to your Backup Configuration file, if applicable:

NOTE

For best results, we recommend that you store a copy of your backed-up files in a directory that is not a sub-directory of your NetSight Element Manager installation directory.

2.Click OK. As the backup proceeds, you will be prompted to authorize the overwriting of any existing files. If any part of the procedure fails (for example, if you attempt to backup a specific file that does not reside in one of the five preset directories), you will be notified of the error.
