Nortel Linux base uses the CLI command sysbackup to backup system data to external storage. You can choose to back up the data to a USB device or to an SFTP server. For more information about SFTP data back up, see “Network configuration for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) data backup” (page 143).

Note: Only one USB storage device should be attached during backup/restore command execution.

The backup operation has two modes; interactive and noninteractive. Interactive backup is performed by using the CLI command sysbackup –b. Interactive backup performs a single backup operation and is intended to backup data before and after critical changes to the system. Interactive backup can be used as an irregular or on-demand backup. Noninteractive backup is performed by using the CLI command sysbackup –c. Noninteractive backup performs a regular or scheduled backup. You

can configure a Noninteractive backup as shown in Figure 108 "Backup Scheduler 1" (page 117) and Figure 109 "Backup Scheduler 2" (page 118).

Note: The minutes parameter in the backup scheduler does not support asterisk as a valid parameter.
