Step 9: Creating Backup
Data
After checking that each device is installed and configured
correctly in
“Step 8: Checking System Settings and Device
Connections (Checklist)” (page 49)
, it is recommended
that you create and save backup data just in case the NSM
server fails.
Windows Server 2012 Backup
Function
A full backup of NSM server data can be acquired using
the backup function provided in Windows Server 2012.
If an NIC is replaced due to PC failure or other cause, it is
necessary to reconfigure the IP address, obtain a new
license, and activate the license after PC recovery from
backup data. For details about configuration, see
and
System Manager License” (page 26)
. However, these
steps are not required if replacing the hard disk only.
