Maintenance
Backing Up a Customer Database
Keeping three backups allows you to go further back in time to find an
error-free database.
SX-200 EL/ML
Backing up the database copies the database from memory to a file on
the attached maintenance PC. Back up a database after you make
changes to it. To back up the customer database, use
the Maintenance screen in the Terminal or Hyperterminal
Communication’s Package and proceed with the following steps:
1. Select the following commands:
SYSTEM
DATABASE
BACKUP
ENTER
The system prompts you for the file name.
2. Enter the file name.
ENTER
CONFIRM
The system then prompts you to exit to a local Kermit session.
Ensure that the Kermit session is set to binary mode because the
customer database information must be saved as a binary file.
3. In the Kermit session, issue the RECEIVE command.
While the backup is in progress, the top seven-segment LED on the
MCC shows “A”, and the lower seven-segment LED shows a dash
that is circling in a clockwise direction.
After the file transfer has completed, the maintenance screen
returns.
The message "Download/Upload Successful " appears on the
screen.
Think of a meaningful filename. It can include abbreviations
for the name of a remote site, the purpose or function of the
database, or the version of the software.
