Back Up Your System

By default, the system backup command automatically runs once a day to protect your Appliance Controller's configuration file. You can manually back up the configuration file at any time, and we recommend running a manual backup after the file has been modified.

Protecting Appliance Controller Configuration Files on Xcellis WFE and G300 Gateways

For Xcellis WFE or G300 gateways, ensure that the .ADIC_INTERNAL_BACKUP/snnas directory has the NO_STORE flag turned off. Otherwise the Appliance Controller's configuration file will not be backed up.

 

Turn Off the NO_STORE Flag

  1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI.
  2. Enter:

    /usr/adic/TSM/util/dm_util -d no_store <managed_file_system>/.ADIC_INTERNAL_BACKUP/snnas

    Important

    Always execute the dm_util command. Otherwise, the Appliance Controller's configuration file may not be copied to tiers managed by File Manager.

  1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI.
  2. Enter:

    > system backup

    Example:

    > system backup
