Element Manager Overview

Backing Up to a CD
The rack-mount HAFM appliance is backed up to a compact disk, rewritable
(CD-RW). As long as a CD-RW disk remains in the CD recorder drive of the
HAFM appliance, critical information from both the Element Manager and the
HAFM are automatically backed up to the CD-RW disk when the data directory
contents change or when you reboot HAFM.
Restoring Data from a CD
To restore data to HAFM, copy the three folders from the CD-RW
(
D:\Backup\ ) and paste them in the root directory on the C drive ( C:\ ). You
will be asked if you want to overwrite the existing files; click Yes.
Manual Backup Procedures
A full data backup occurs the first time that you configure any parameter on a new
HAFM appliance.
After this initial backup, a backup only occurs when any data changes or if the
HAFM appliance is rebooted. This backup is not a full backup, but only an
incremental backup of changed data.
You should do a manual backup to ensure that HAFM data is fully backed up to a
CD-ROM disk if any of the following occur:
■ You are changing or archiving these disks.
■ You have changed a disk and a Use current disk message displays.
To manually backup HAFM data:
1. Locate these folders on C:\ , where
refers to the directory where the HAFM application is
installed:
■ \Server
■ \Client
■ \Call Home
Copy these folders to X:\backup , where X is the drive letter for your CD-ROM
drive where backups occur. Overwrite the existing files.
