Configure backup and restore

The backup and restore function backs up the OMIVV database to a remote location (NFS and CIFS) from which it can be restored later. The profiles, configuration, and host information are in the backup. Dell EMC recommends you to schedule automatic backups to guard against data loss.

About this task

NOTE The NTP settings are not saved and restored.

Steps

  1. On the BACKUP AND RESTORE SETTINGS page, click Edit.
  2. On the highlighted SETTINGS AND DETAILS area, do the following:
    1. In Backup Location, type the path of the backup files.
    2. In Username, enter the user name.
    3. In Password, enter the password. The % sign is not supported at the end of the password.
    4. In Enter the password used to encrypt backups, type the encrypted password in the box.
      The encryption password can contain alphanumeric characters and special characters, such as, “!, @, #, $, %, and *”.
    5. In Verify Password, retype the encrypted password.
  3. To save these settings, click Apply.
