Keeping valid backup copies of your library’s configuration and the MLM 
database ensures that you can easily restore the library in the event of a 
disaster. Having a backup of the library’s configuration is also extremely 
useful if problems require you to replace the LCM or the LCM’s compact 
flash card. After the replacement procedure is complete, you can use the 
saved configuration to restore the library’s settings, including the 
partitions, instead of having to manually re-enter all of the information. 

The library provides two methods for backing up the configuration:

If you have valid backups of the library’s configuration and MLM 
database, you can use them to restore the library (see 

).

 for additional 

information about backing up the library’s configuration information and 
MLM database (the library metadata).

The Auto-Save Configuration File feature automatically creates an auto-
save backup file containing the library configuration and Media Lifecycle 
Management (MLM) database and stores it on the LCM compact flash. The 
library generates the auto-save file once a week and whenever a partition is 
created or modified.

As an extra security measure, you can configure the library to 
automatically email the auto-save file to a previously defined email 
recipient each time it is created. Saving an external copy of the auto-save 
file ensures that you can recover your MLM database and library 
configuration in the event of a disaster.

For detailed information about configuring and using the Auto-Save 
Configuration File feature, see:

You can optionally store the library’s configuration, either by saving it to a 
USB key or by emailing it to one of the library’s configured mail users. If 
you choose either of these option, verify the backup as described in the 
following sections.
