Backing up and
Restoring the Database
and Code Image
The configuration database is stored in non-volatile flash memory in the
PathBuilder S700. As further protection, 3Com recommends that you back up the
database after any major configuration changes.
A power cycle of the shelf is necessary to synchronize the database on the MCPU
if it is being restored. No additional action is necessary if you are just backing up
the database.
Backing up the Database
To back up the database, follow these steps:
1 Select [1] System Administration to display the System Administration menu.
2 Select [10] Reset Interface Card to display the Reset Port Card screen.
3 Enter [1] , for the MCPU card.
4 Enter
y
at the confirmation prompt to reset the card.
5 Create a directory that will hold only the database files.
6 Move to the directory you created in step 5.
