 Tasks

n

The user is testing multiple SyncServer configurations. The user saves the "original" con-
figuration before testing, and then saves some of the more promising test configurations.
When the testing is complete, the user selects the best configuration and applies it to the
SyncServer.

n

The user needs to configure several SyncServers. The user configures a single Syn-
cServer, creates a backup file, and then uses the backup file to transfer the configuration
to the remaining SyncServers.

n

The user needs a "known good configuration" in case the SyncServer's configuration is
inadvertently changed or lost.

The SyncServer's backup and restore features are available from two locations:

n

From the web interface, using the

WIZARDS - Backup

and the

WIZARDS - Restore

pages.

n

From the front panel keypad, using the

MENU

button and the

4) USB

menu item.

The backup/restore features can use a variety of media:

n

A USB flash drive plugged into either of the USB ports on the front panel.

n

Any directory that is accessible to a browser.

Notes:

- Not all USB flash drives are compatible with the SyncServer's USB ports. Microsemi recom-
mends using SanDisk cruzer micro USB devices.

- The backup file includes the configuration of the

NETWORK - Ethernet

page. If restoring a

single configuration to multiple units, if the network ports have static IP addresses, avoid IP
address conflicts by changing these addresses.

- Transferring configurations between a SyncServers with different hardware or software
might not work. The user may want to back up the configuration of the "destination" Syn-
cServer before applying the configuration of the "originating" SyncServer. One can also
restore the Factory Defaults if the transfer doesn't work. See the

Restoring the Factory

Default Configuration

(on page 167) topic.

CreatingaBackupFile

From the front panel keypad

1. Plug a compatible USB flash drive into either USB port.

2. Wait 10 seconds.

3. Press the

MENU

button.

4. Select

4) USB

.

5. Select

1) Backup Cfg

.

6. When the SyncServer finishes "Saving to USB Drive", remove the USB flash drive.

From the web interface

1. On the

WIZARDS - Backup

web page, click the

BACKUP

button to create a backup file on

the SyncServer.
