Help for Backup Configuration Copy To Server


The Backup Configuration Copy To Server lets you copy the existing configuration backup file on the system to a remote server in the network, using FTP to perform the copy. This function allows you to maintain multiple versions of backup information (in multiple files on the remote server), as well as preventing the loss of the backup information if the system crashes. IBM strongly recommends storing configuration backup information on remote servers for safe keeping.

To perform the copy, provide the requested FTP information and select Submit to perform the copy.

Server name Host name of the remote server.
Server path (Optional) Directory on the remote server where the copied configuration backup file should be stored. The user's home FTP directory is used if this field is not provided.
File name (Optional) Name of the file on the remote server to be used when storing the copied configuration backup file. The name of the configuration backup file is used if this field is not provided.
User name (Optional) User account on the remote server to use when performing the copy. The anonymous user is used if this field is not provided.
User password (Optional) Password used to authenticate the user on the remote server. This field is required when using any user other than the anonymous user.
