Backing up the system

To back up the system over the customer's LAN
1. Make sure you have the IP address of the customer's FTP, SFTP, or SCP backup server.
2. On the S8300 main menu, select Backup Now.
The system displays the Backup Now screen.
3. Select the type of data you want to back up by selecting the appropriate data set.
4. Select a backup method, normally FTP, SFTP, or SCP, to indicate the destination to which
the system sends the backup data.
5. Complete the following fields:
User name
●
You must enter a valid user name to enable the media server to log in to the FTP or SCP
server. If you want to use the anonymous account, type anonymous in this field. If you
do not want to use the anonymous account, type the actual user name in this field.
Password
●
You must enter a password that is valid for the user name you entered. If you are using
anonymous as the user name, you must use your email address as the password.
However, the FTP or SSH site may have a different convention.
Host name
●
Enter the DNS name or IP address of the FTP or SCP server to which the backup data is
sent. To enter an IP address, use the dotted decimal notation (for example, 192.11.13.6).
Directory
●
Enter the directory on the corporate repository to which you want to copy the backup file.
When you enter a forward slash (/) in the directory field, the system copies the backup
file to the default directory. The default directory for backup data on the FTP or SCP
server is /var/home/ftp. If you do not want to use the default directory, you must enter the
path name for the directory.
