Backing Up And Restoring The G250/G350 Using A Usb Mass Storage Device; Backing Up Administration And Configuration Files Using A Usb Mass Storage Device - Avaya G250 Administration

Backing up and restoring the G250/G350 using a USB mass
storage device
The G250/G350 USB port supports a USB flash drive and a USB externally powered hub. The
port also supports USB 2.0 high speed (480 Mbits/sec) for faster file transfer between the media
gateway and USB mass storage devices.
Note:
An external USB hub is supported on G250 gateways with hardware suffix D or
Note:
above, and on G350 gateways with hardware suffix.vintage C.1 or above.
To check the hardware suffix and vintage, use the show system command and
check the HW suffix and HW vintage values.
CLI commands for backing up and restoring files to/from a USB mass storage device enable
you to use the USB port for efficient restoring or replicating of a G250/G350 media gateway and
for replacing and upgrading media modules. Using the USB port you can back up or restore
multiple files with one CLI command, which is simpler than the alternative TFTP/FTP/SCP
method, in which files are copied and restored individually.
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 G250 or G350
firmware, media modules' firmware, IP phone firmware, and Device Manager firmware (G350
only and optional) to the USB mass storage device, and use the restore command to restore
these files as well as the administration and configuration files.
Note:
The CLI backup and restore commands (for efficient backup/restore via a USB
Note:
mass storage device) only run on gateways R4.0 and higher.
You can also use the USB mass storage device to copy individual gateway files to/from the
gateway. Refer to
Tip:
It is recommended to use a USB mass storage device with LED indication.
Tip:
Backing up administration and configuration files using a USB mass
storage device
The following procedure backs up all the gateway configuration and administration files, but
does not back up any firmware files.
