Backing Up Administration And Configuration Files Using A Usb Mass Storage Device - Avaya G450 Manual

Basic device configuration
A single CLI command backs up all the administration and configuration files of a gateway onto
a USB mass storage device. Another single command restores all of the backed up files. If you
need to completely replicate a media gateway, you can also download the G450 firmware,
media modules' firmware, IP phone firmware, and Device Manager firmware to the USB mass
storage device, and use the restore usb command to restore these files as well as the
administration and configuration files.

1. Connect a USB mass storage device to a G450 USB port.
2. Type s to commit the current configuration to NVRAM.
3. Enter backup config usb usbdevice0 backup-name, where backup-name is the
backup directory path and file name you are creating on the USB mass storage device.
