Using the CLI for automatic backup

Version 7.00 provides CLI commands for backing up a list of files and directories, or directories, that changed on the VPN Router. The CLI command exception backup includes the following parameters:

•specific—backs up specific files or directories only

•file-path—backs up additional files or directories in a particular file path

•auto—backs up the changes only to any file in a file path

•overwrite—overwrites existing files on the host

•delete—deletes files on the VPN Router after backup

•sftp—uses SFTP to transfer the backup files

For more information about the command parameters, see Nortel VPN Router Using the Command Line Interface.

Note: To transfer backup files using SFTP, you must first configure a remote SSH server.

The following sections describe how to use the CLI commands. You must enter the commands from CLI Global Configuration Mode. For more information about the Global Configuration Mode, see Nortel VPN Router Using the Command Line Interface.
