Procedure 11: Back up configuration files and data files

1At the ÒConsole Login:Ó prompt, type maint (if you are not already logged in) and press [Return]. The default password is maint.

2Insert the backup tape into the drive.

Ensure that the tape is a backup tape and not a system tape, because any information on the tape will be overwritten by the backup. Ensure that the tape is not write-protected.

Note: Ensure you use the correct backup tape. An IPE Module uses a 600-Mbyte tape. An Application Module uses a 155-Mbyte tape.

3At the Òmaint>Ó prompt, type backdata and press [Return] to start the backup process.
