Cancel DB Backup - It cancels (aborts) a database backup currently in progress

Restore DB - It copies the backup database stored on secondary backup database to
•
the primary backup database and resets the system to activate the new database
DB Information - It reads the database label of the selected backup database stored on
•
the NE
Perform DB backup
This option backs up the whole NE provisioning and configuration database, excluding
Performance Monitoring History Data, current alarm situation, and event log data; in
addition to the database, also writes the system type, the software release identifier, the
site identifier, the backup date and time stamp to the secondary backup database.
The system also writes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) to the secondary backup
database.
This option returns COMLPD if the process of backup creation has been started on the
NE. The actual completion of the backup process (either successful, or being cancelled, or
with an error) is notified to the operator.
If the creation failed, the system sets the DBF condition. A DBF condition is cleared by
successfully completing a subsequent action or Restore DB option. No DBF condition is
raised if the backup creation was cancelled by the operator.
Any database backup currently in-progress can be aborted (canceled) by the Cancel DB
Backup option. If an in-progress database backup is canceled, an unsuccessful response
message is generated for this option and the system may mark via the database header the
backed-up data on the secondary backup database as "invalid" (depending on the timing of
the cancellation) so that it cannot be inadvertently used for a subsequent database
restoration or remote database backup.
Alarms are not part of the backup, neither alarms active when the backup was started, nor
alarms being raised during the backup is created. Alarms should be cleared before
performing database backups. Note: when a database backup is restored, the NE is will
perform an alarm resynchronization to update its alarm database to the current alarm
situation.
