1   Introduction

This document 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.

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions 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.

2   Procedure

To create a backup:

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.
