For a large amount of log data, using tar may not be appropriate. We recommend
using Secure Copy (scp) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to backup the Device Server
data.
Example using scp:
scp -r <local directory> usr@host:<remote-directory>
Example using FTP:
ftp <host name>
bi
hash
lcd <local directory>

Start GUI Server and Device Server processes.
Restoring Logs and Configuration Data
These instructions apply only to systems where the var directory links point to a true
location outside the prescribed locations (
/usr/netscreen/GuiSvr or
/usr/netscreen/DevSvr ). We recommend that you do not set these links to point to
locations that are inside /usr/netscreen/GuiSvr or /usr/netscreen/DevSvr ; doing so can
complicate upgrades to NSM and requires special precautions during backup and restore
procedures.
To restore log and configuration data:
1.
Stop Device Server and GUI Server processes.
2.
Use the mv command to transfer data from the var directories to a safe location.
This precaution clears the var directory for restoration of the backups.
3.
Untar your backups into both of the locations described above.
4.
Start GUI Server and the Device Server processes.
Managing Device Schemas Through the Juniper Update Mechanism
You can download and activate XML-based device schemas without upgrading NSM.
This feature applies only to devices whose schemas are defined using XML:
• Secure Access devices
•
Infranet Controller devices
•
Junos devices
This mechanism does not apply to ScreenOS or IDP devices.
The latest device schema is placed by Juniper Networks on the Juniper Update Server,
which is a publicly available server. From there, schema upgrade is a two-stage process:
