Backing up LinkPlexer and restoring to a new
server
Introduction
This section documents the steps to ensure the current configuration of
LinkPlexer 6.0 (and the LinkPlexer files) is backed up. It also outlines the steps
to restore LinkPlexer to a new server in the case of a fault or damage to the
original server.
To back up LinkPlexer and restore to a new server
1 Locate the LinkPlexer 6.0 folder. By default, this folder is located in
C:\Program Files\Nortel\LinkPlexer.
2 Copy this folder (and consequently all the files) to another location. This
step ensures that there are backup copies of all the installed files.
3 Make a separate copy of the LPConfig.ini configuration file, which has been
adapted locally for LinkPlexer 6.0 configuration. Store a copy of this file
externally (that is, on a separate machine).
4 Install LinkPlexer 6.0 on the new server. See Chapter 5, “Installing
LinkPlexer 6.0.”
5 Locate the LinkPlexer 6.0 folder. By default, this folder is located in
C:\Program Files\Nortel\LinkPlexer.
6 Retrieve the copied LPConfig.ini. Copy the file into the LinkPlexer 6.0 folder
over the default LPConfig.ini file.
7 Reconfigure the TCP/IP or X.25 connections. See Chapter 7, “Configuring
and maintaining LinkPlexer 6.0.”
