Backing Up Database Files Using XModem/YModem File Transfer
You can use the XModem/YModem file transfer option to copy the Access
Concentrator system databases from the CPU hard disk to a separate storage
medium. Backing up the databases using the XModem/YModem file transfer
option includes two major tasks:
•
First, you set up the cabling and connections between the PC workstation
and the Access Concentrator system CPU component, start up the VT100
terminal emulation software on the PC workstation, and ensure you have
communication between the two devices (see the following procedure,
“Setting Up for the File Transfer Process”).
•
Second, you perform the file transfer (copy) process for the databases to
the separate storage medium (see the procedure, ”Copying the Database
Files to a Storage Medium” on page 7-27).
