Procedure & Guidelines for Taking Backup & Restoring Backup in NGTJ card

a. Taking Backup

For taking backup automatically, all LAG nodes must be discovered in LAGEMS. Always add nodes
through Manage Nodes option. Right Click on Map and Manage nodes.

After discovery of nodes, Select EMS & Backup Restore option in EMS.

In this, lagdata.tar and Automatic/Manual will be seen. This means lagdata.tar which are created
automatically will be seen in the list of backup files having Automatic. If backup is taken manually using
then Manual will be seen.

If operator runs this command through Thin Client PC then after taking backup, EMS will ask the path in
Thin Client PC and operator may select path in which operator wish to save backup.

While taking Backup, Backup file will be saved in /home/admin/AdventNet/WebNMS/Backup/Lag path

in LAGEMS server.

In LAGEMS server, LAG IP Wise Backup folder will be saved.

In LAGEMS server *_A and *_M will be seen which means A for Automatically and M for Manually.

Location of Backup Files in EMS and NGTJ card are as follows:

EMS: /home/admin/AdventNet/WebNMS/Backup/Lag

NGTJ: /mmc/etc/BACKUP

Important Note: In LAGEMS server, LAG IP Wise Backup will be saved.

b. Restoring Backup

Note: For restoring Backup through EMS, give soft shutdown to standby copy first then restore
backup to NGTJ card. For this, login into card and give following commands

# cd /mmc/etc

#. /lag_shutdown.sh 2

After discovery of nodes, Select EMS & Backup Restore option in EMS.

Select Restore from Thin Client and select files operator wish to restore and restore.

The file will be sent to Thin Client PC at /mmc/etc/BACKUP folder

Then in NGTJ card run command lag_restore.sh
