Items F and G are used to back up a node's operating files to a local backup directory,
then restore the database into the original directory. These operations can be per-
formed on a local or remote (via remote control) FRX6000, but in either case the oper-
ations affect the node under operator control.
This operation applies only to an FRX4000 with a PC attached to the
Console port. The PC must be running Procomm Plus with ZMODEM. The
procedure was tested using Procomm Plus 2.1 for Windows, but other ver-
sions containing ZMODEM should also work. It is assumed that anyone
performing this procedure knows how to use ZMODEM.
This operation places a heavy load on the FRX4000's central
processor, and should be performed only when there is minimal
traffic on the node.
This operation copies an entrire directory from an FRX4000 to the locally attached PC
and back. This is useful for backing up the FRX4000's configuration database.
1. Make sure a directory with the same name as the one in the FRX4000 exists in
the PC.
