1   Description

This instruction describes how to create a manual backup of a particular type, as defined in the backup manager, to be stored in a particular directory of the user file system.

2   Procedure

2.1   Create Backup

Prerequisites

• No documents are required.
• No tools are required.
• The following condition must apply:
  • No other backup operation is in progress.
  • The backup type is known.
  • The backup name is known.
  • An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

Steps

1. Navigate to the BrmBackupManager managed object, for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=SYSTEM_DATA

2. Start the backup operation, for example:

   (BrmBackupManager=SYSTEM_DATA)>createBackup PERF_BACKUP_NAME1_20140428_175907

   Note:  

   The <Backup Name> can be maximum of 50 characters. The alphanumeric, dash, and underscore characters are supported. If no name is given, the name will be automatically generated in the following format: <manualBackupName>_<year>-<month>-<day>T<hour>:<minute>:<second>.

   To cancel the creation of a manual backup, type in cancelCurrentAction.

   
   

   The system returns output true or false.

3. Verify that the backup was created:

   (BrmBackupManager=SYSTEM_DATA)>show progressReport

   Note:  

   Since this is a long-running operation, it can be necessary to enter the command several times until the final operation result is shown in the progress report.

   
   

   After a backup is successfully created, the progress report shows the following:

   [...] actionName="CREATE" additionalInfo="Create Backup for PERF_BACKUP_NAME1_20140428_175907:⇒ Succeeded" progressInfo="" progressPercentage=100 result=SUCCESS resultInfo="PERF_BACKUP_NAME1_20140428_175907 was created ⇒ successfully." state=FINISHED [...]

If an error occurs during the execution of the operation, attribute reportProgress shows result=FAILURE and resultInfo shows the cause of the failure.
