4.3 Backup Management
These commands allow the user to manage the backups that are stored on the system
Command Name
Description
restoreBackup1
Reverts to the most recent system restore point. Requires a power-
cycle/reboot afterward. This will create a new Restore Point 1, move the old
Restore Point 1 to Restore Point 2, and delete the old Restore Point 2 before
it reverts to the backup.
restoreBackup2
Reverts to the second-most recent system restore point. Requires a power-
cycle/reboot. This will create a new Restore Point 1, move the old Restore
Point 1 to Restore Point 2, and delete the old Restore Point 2 before it reverts
to the backup.
restoreFactory
Reverts to the factory default software. Requires a power-cycle/reboot
afterward. This will create a new Restore Point 1, move the old Restore Point
1 to Restore Point 2, and delete the old Restore Point 2 before it reverts to
the backup.
createRestorePoint
Takes the current set of software on the system and saves it as Restore Point
1. The old Restore Point 1 is moved to restore point 2. The old Restore Point 2
is deleted.
Note:
Anytime the system is restored to a backup copy or a software update is performed, a new restore
point is created and saved as Restore Point 1. The previous Restore Point 1 is moved to Restore Point 2. The
previous Restore Point 2 is deleted.
If long term storage of a Restore Point is desired, it should be copied
from the controller using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client.
