For each backup configuration created or uploaded via this
window, a row is added to the Backup Configurations grid in
the Restore frame. The newly added row includes the
following information: Date the backup was executed, File-
name of the backup file, general information about the
Content of the file, and a Comment about the file.
TIPS: The order in which columns display in the grid can be
changed by clicking the column header and sliding the column to
another position in the grid.
To change the sort order, click the header of a column. All rows
will sort in order by that column.
If text in any column displays truncated—followed by ellipses
(...)—place the cursor over the beginning or ending of the column
header. When the <—> character displays in place of the cursor,
you can expand the width of the column. You also can use the
scrollbar beneath the grid to view information to the right of the
last column.

Backup Procedures

8e6 recommends performing backup procedures whenever
changes are made to system configurations or to library
configurations. By creating backup files and saving these
files off the R3000 server, prior server settings can later be
retrieved and uploaded to the R3000 in the event that
current settings are incorrect, or if you wish to revert to
settings from a previous backup. Additionally, backup files
are useful if the current server fails. These backup files can
be uploaded to a new server, eliminating the need to re-
enter the same settings from the old R3000 in the console of
the new R3000.
NOTE: See Server Maintenance Procedures from the Introduc-
tory Section's Chapter 3: Synchronizing Multiple Units, for an
overview on establishing backup procedures when using more
than one R3000 unit on the network.
