3com 3CRWXR10095A User Manual

3WXM Services regularly backs up network plans, at configurable 
intervals. In addition to these regular backups, you can create a backup at 
any time. 

You can create a backup from within 3WXM or at a command line. From 
within 3WXM, you also can change the settings for automatic backups.

To manage backups, use the Backup/Restore dialog. To access this dialog, 
select Tools > 3WXM Backup/Restore from the menu bar in the main 
3WXM window.

The backups that already exist for the network plan are listed. Backups 
that are automatically created by 3WXM do not have names, and their 
type is Automatic. Backups that you create do have names, and their type 
is Manual. Only the backups for the currently open plan are listed. 

By default, backups created automatically by 3WXM are stored in the 
following location:

3WXM\backup\auto\plan_name

Backups created by you are stored in the following location by default:

3WXM\backup\manual\plan_name

3WXM zips the backup files and assigns them unique names. You can 
assign a name to a backup that you create. However, this name does not 
appear in the backup directory. To select a plan based on the name you 
assign, use the Backup/Restore dialog.

To immediately create a backup

1 Access the Backup/Restore dialog. 

2 Click Create Backup. The Backup Name dialog appears.

3 Type a name for the backup and click OK. 

The status is displayed in the Status window. When the backup is 
complete, it appears in the list of backups. (If you do not see the backup, 
scroll to the bottom of the list.)

4 Click Close to close the dialog.
