configuration and run a system confidence check.
Depending upon your backup environment. it may also be necessary to configure the media servers that
are backing up to the StoreOnce System.
Saving the StoreOnce configuration and keystore
Contents of the StoreOnce configuration file
It is strongly recommended to save the configuration whenever you make changes to it.
The configuration consists of two parts:
1. A set of instructions in the form of a text file, devconfig<timestamp>.txt, for the user to manually
restore some of the network and device management configuration settings that cannot be
automatically restored.
2. A zip file, devconfig<timestamp>.zip, containing StoreOnce device configuration settings that
automatically restore configuration settings that have been created for StoreOnce VTL, NAS, Catalyst,
Replication and housekeeping functions.
IMPORTANT:
If settings in the text file need to be restored, the manual restore should always be carried out
before the automatic restore. See the StoreOnce System User Guide for more information about
saving and restoring configurations.
Saving the StoreOnce configuration
Procedure
1. Open the puTTy (or other ssh) application and login to the StoreOnce CLI as an Admin user. Save
the configuration using the StoreOnce CLI command:
config save devices
2. Using sftp protocol and an application, such as filezilla, copy the following files from /config
to your local machine.
•
devconfig_<cluster ID and serial number><date and time>.zip
•
devconfig_<cluster ID and serial number><date and time>.txt
The StoreOnce encryption keystore
If you have installed the Security license and are applying encryption to devices on the StoreOnce
System, encryption keys are created and are written to a keystore which may be managed locally on the
StoreOnce System or externally using a Key Manager utility. The keystore should be backed up regularly
