Managing Network
Plans
3WXM Services regularly backs up network plans, at configurable
intervals. In addition to these regular backups, you can create a backup at
any time.
You can create a backup from within 3WXM or at a command line. From
within 3WXM, you also can change the settings for automatic backups.
To manage backups, use the Backup/Restore dialog. To access this dialog,
select
Tools > 3WXM Backup / Restore from the menu bar in the main
3WXM window.
The backups that already exist for the network plan are listed. Backups
that are automatically created by 3WXM do not have names, and their
type is Automatic. Backups that you create do have names, and their type
is Manual. Only the backups for the currently open plan are listed.
By default, backups created automatically by 3WXM are stored in the
following location:
3WXM\backup\auto\plan_name
Backups created by you are stored in the following location by default:
3WXM\backup\manual\plan_name
3WXM zips the backup files and assigns them unique names. You can
assign a name to a backup that you create. However, this name does not
appear in the backup directory. To select a plan based on the name you
assign, use the Backup/Restore dialog.
Backing Up a Plan To immediately create a backup

The status is displayed in the Status window. When the backup is
complete, it appears in the list of backups. (If you do not see the backup,
scroll to the bottom of the list.)
