HP StorageWorks 2.32 Edge Switch - Manual (Page 118)

Configuring the switch 118
In addition to the Backup and Restore Configuration option, the backup application
automatically backs up configuration and other critical data from the HAFM appliance. As long as
backup media remains in the backup drive of the HAFM appliance, data is written to the backup
media whenever the directory contents change or you reboot the HAFM appliance. For more
information, see ” Backing up and restoring Element Manager data ” on page 42.
NOTE: We do not recommend changing the default backup settings.
CAUTION: To ensure trouble-free backups, it is imperative that you leave the backup media in the
drive at all times. Removing the media during a backup or restore can corrupt the database on the
media. When data is being written to or read from the backup drive, the CD-RW drive write LED
flashes. Make sure this LED is not flashing before you remove the media.
