Performing a manual backup
Whenever a new device is added to the AMF network or when the configuration has
changed on a member node, it is always advisable to perform a manual backup from the
AMF master in order to ensure the removable media installed on the master node has an
up to date backup of all nodes within the AMF.
To perform a manual backup of the entire AMF network, on the AMF master enter the
command
atmf backup now command on page 60.6
:
To check the status of the AMF backup use the
show atmf backup command on page

Note
The file system used by the AMF backup does not support the backing up of files
that have the same name but have different case (e.g. “test.txt” and “TEST.txt”),
and only one of these files will be stored in the backup. For this reason it is
recommended that all files on a node have unique file names.
