A warning message appears. Read the warning carefully before proceeding.
7Click the Ye s button to proceed.
A progress window opens. When the backup preparation is complete, the Save window opens.
8Specify the directory and enter a file name in the File Name field. Enter a file name with a .tar
extension (e.g. backup2.tar) so that you can examine the file with a utility such as WinZip. If
you do not select the folder backup, the new backup file will be stored in the root of this
folder.
9Click the Save button.
When the backup is complete the Backup Complete message appears.

Caution: A backup operation can interrupt services running on the BCM. A
warning displays whenever the backup will cause a service interruption. If you
want to perform a backup that does not affect the system, you can exclude
services that would be affected. Alternatively, you can include these services and
perform a backup at a time when the system is typically not in use.
