Backup/Restore Device List

Menu Selection: Backup/Restore Device List

Minimum Run Authorization: PerleVIEW Administrator

If you ever lose the contents of the PerleVIEW database, you can use this backup feature to restore the lists of devices to the PerleVIEW database. The restore device list feature would launch a discovery task instance with all the IP addresses of your previously discovered (and backed up) devices defined for that instance. The backup is stored outside of the PerleVIEW database so that it would not be lost in the event of a database corruption or loss. The backup device list can also be exported to a different PC for additional safe keeping.

After the backup is completed you can click the Download button if you want to save your Device List to a different location for added safe keeping.

Working with Restore Device List

PerleVIEW will run a new discovery task using the device list as its list of IP addresses to discover. If a device already exists in the database, the device information will be updated with any new information collected during the discovery. PerleVIEW can create a device discovery task using the “Last Backed” list or a list which was previously downloaded (saved) after a backup operation.
