Understanding
Backup Files
Backup files are saved in a readable format called eXtensible Markup
Language (XML). Every backup file is divided into two main sections, the
head
and the
body
. The head section describes the physical configuration
of the device, at the time it was backed up. However, the content of the
body section depends on the type of the source device.
Table 112
shows
how the content of the body section relates to the device family of the
source device.

Backup File Content by Device Family
Managing Backup
Files
3Com Network Director saves all backup files to the following directory
on your hard disk drive:
<INSTALL LOCATION>\backups
The default install location of 3Com Network Director is:
C:\Program Files\3Com\3Com Network Director
3Com Network Director does not delete backup files. Eventually, the list
of backups for a device may become difficult to manage unless you
manually delete unwanted backup files. To delete an unwanted backup
file, locate the file in the backup directory on your hard disk using
Windows Explorer.
