The naming convention for the Linux base backup archive is hostname-install-yyyy.mm.dd.hh.MM.ss.tar.gz

The name for the backup archive is automatically generated and includes the key word install to indicate that the archive is generated as part of the installation or upgrade procedure. For example, hp3-e-install-2008.09.04.18.54.47.tar.gz is a backup archive name where hp3-e is the host name. The archive name begins with the short host name (not the FQDN) and the key word install, and contains the following fields:

•yyyy - year

•mm - month

•dd - day

•hh - hour

•MM - minutes

•ss - seconds

Note: Nortel Linux base uses the CLI command sysbackup to back up 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). For a list of Nortel Linux base CLI commands see Table 11 "Nortel Linux base CLI commands" (page 141).
