14.0 Configuration Backup and Restore
Horizon Compact Plus provides a backup and restore facility for system configuration data and user
account data. The backup and restore uses an FTP server to transfer files. It is recommended to have
an FTP server at your network management site for use with the Horizon Compact Plus backup and
restore facilities. Note that the Super User or a noc user level can perform backup and restore functions.
14.1 System Configuration Backup
The Horizon Compact Plus system configuration can be saved to an FTP server as a text file. All system
configuration parameters are backed up, allowing the exact configuration to be replicated.
Log in as the Super User and use the CLI command:
config upload ftp://<ftpUserName>:<ftpPassword>@<ftpServerIp/<hcpConfigFileName>
press Enter.
Where <ftpUserName> is the user name for the ftp server
<ftpPassword> is the ipassword for the ftp server
<ftpServerIp> is the IP address of the ftp server
<hcpConfigFileName> is the name of the configuration file, which can be any name
Note that the above command will save the file in the root directory of the ftp server. Adding the path
information to the file name will allow you to save it in a specific directory on the ftp server.
14.2 System Configuration Restore
The Horizon Compact Plus system configuration can be retrieved from the FTP server on which it was
backed up. All system configuration parameters are restored, allowing the exact configuration to be
replicated.
Log in as the Super User and use the CLI command:
config download ftp://<ftpUserName>:<ftpPassword>@<ftpServerIp>/<hcpConfigFileName>
press Enter
Note that the command shown will retrieve the file from the root directory of the ftp server. Adding the
path information to the file name will allow you to retrieve it from a specific directory on the ftp server.
Configuration files can be edited (see Volume 2 of this manual). If the file is not in its proper format it will
be rejected. If the original file has been modified, the process will prompt for the user to confirm the
change and the user has the option to proceed or cancel the operation. If one of the configuration items
fails to load, the process will try to undo the previous changes. The last failed configured item and the last
failed undo item (if any) will be listed at the end of the process.
After a successful restore, finish with CLI commands save mib and reset system to reboot the system
and activate the restored configuration. Note that reset system is traffic affecting.
