atmf backup now
This command initiates an immediate AMF backup of either all AMF members, or a
selected AMF member. Note that this backup information is stored in the external media
on the master nodes, even though the selected AMF member may not be a master node.
Syntax
atmf backup now [
Default
A backup is initiated for all nodes on the AMF (but stored on the master nodes).
Mode
Privileged Exec
Usage
Although this command will select the AMF node to be backed-up; it can only be run from
an AMF master node.
Example-1
In this example, an AMF member has not been assigned a host name. The following
command is run on the atmf_master_2 node to immediately backup the device -
identified by its MAC address of 0016.76b1.7a5e:
Example-2
In this example, an AMF member has the host name, office_annex. The following
command will immediately backup this device:.
This command is initiated on the switch named amf_master_2 and initiates an immediate
backup on the switch named office_annex.
Parameter
Description
backup
The AMF backup process.
now
Immediately applies the command’s action.
or
The name of the AMF member to be backed up - as set by the
command
. Where no name has been
assigned to this device, then you must apply the prefix, host
underscore followed (without a space) by the MAC address of the
device to be backed up. For example host_0016_76b1_7a5e
Note that the node-name appear as the command Prompt when in
Privileged Exec mode.
Note
The backup produced will be for the selected node but the backed-up config will
reside on the external media of the AMF master on which the command was run.
However, this process will result in the information on one master being more
up-to-date. To maintain concurrent backups on both masters, you can apply the
backup now command to the master working-set. This is shown in
atmf_master_2#
atmf backup now host_0016_76b1_7a5e
Note
When a host name is derived from its MAC address, the syntax format entered
changes from XXXX.XXXX.XXXX to XXXX_XXXX_XXXX.
