Administration
The Backup Setup allows you to enable and control specific aspects of the periodic back-up process. This
process allows you to save your settings as .tar file either on your local system or up loaded to an FTP server.
The Backup process consists of copying hundreds of configuration files into one .tar file. The .tar is then zipped
and named per "config-year month day hour minute.tar.gz".
When a periodic backup is enabled, the backup occurs approximately 16 minutes after midnight, per the
selected interval.
The Backup file is useful in crash recovery/system restoral situation and handy for setting up fail-safe spares.
The specific configuration files that get backed up are listed in the file called "backup" located in the /opt/multi-
access/data/directory. Backups will fail if this file is renamed or missing from this directory.
Local Periodic Backup
If Local Periodic Backup is chosen, the Time Interval can be selected as a daily, weekly, or monthly
backup. The number set in the Maximum Backups is the number of backups that are saved on your
system.
FTP Periodic Backup
If FTP Periodic Backup is chosen, the backup is uploaded to the FTP server designated in the Server IP
Address field and a specific Directory can be designated in the Directory field. The Time Interval can be
selected as daily, weekly, or monthly. A weekly FTP backup is the default. The backup can be security
protected by using a Username and Password protection. The username and password are FTP Client
credentials used to log into the FTP server. The credentials must have write access on the FTP server.
