System Management and Maintenance

Note: Backing up and restoring with superclusters

You can (and should) create and download backups from clusters that are part of a supercluster, but you can’t restore a cluster while it’s part of a supercluster. You must manually leave the supercluster first. If the cluster is responsible for any territories (as primary or backup), go to Network > Site Topology > Territories and reassign those territories.

If you restore a cluster using the USB Configuration Utility while it’s part of a supercluster, it’s automatically removed from the supercluster.

To download a backup file

1Go to Maintenance > Backup and Restore. The list contains the last ten backup files.

2Select the backup file you want to download.

3In the Actions list, click Download Selected.

4Choose a path and filename for the backup file and click Save.

The File Download dialog indicates when the download is complete.

5Click Close.

To create a new backup file

1Go to Maintenance > Backup and Restore.

2Verify that the oldest backup file listed is one you don’t want to keep or have already downloaded.

Only ten files are saved. Creating a new backup will delete the oldest file (unless there are fewer than ten).

3In the Actions list, click Create New (Full) to create a full backup or Create New (Config Only) to create a configuration-only backup (no transaction data).

A confirmation dialog tells you the backup archive was created. For a full backup, this may take some time.

4Click OK.

To upload a backup file

The system asks if you want to restore now from the backup file you just uploaded.
