enhancements apply to both CP PII and CP PIV system configurations, unless otherwise noted.

Note: This feature does not actually perform an EDD, which must be initiated through an appropriate command in LD 43.

New backup rules

Three new backup rule types are introduced with CP PIV:

•FTP — an external FTP server is accessed for storing or retrieving backup data.

•FMD — fixed media device for storing backup data in a special directory on the /u partition. A CP PII system stores the data on a local hard drive, while a CP PIV system uses an on-board Compact Flash card.

•RMD — removable media device for storing backup data. The RMD rule type is available only on a CP PIV system.

Note: New backup rules are not available for Geographic Redundancy Database Replication Control (GRDRC).

For more detailed information about backup and restore commands, see Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Maintenance (553-3021-500).
