Backing Up System Data to the Removable Media

This section details the procedure used to make a backup copy of the system data in addition to the database.

The term “database” refers to all data that can be administered by the user, including shelves, cards, links, routes, global title translation tables, and gateway screening tables. The term “system data” refers to data that cannot be administered by the user, including maintenance software modules and generic program loads (GPLs).

Perform Making a Backup of the Database to the Removable Media to make a backup of the database to the removable cartridge or removable media. Perform this procedure without performing the last two steps (removing the media) and labeling the media. After the backup of the database has been made, continue the procedure with 2.
Make a backup copy of the GPLs on the fixed disk of the active E5-TDM to the removable media using the copy-gpl command. Perform the following substep.
1. If the removable media was used to make the backup of the database, the GPLs are copied from the active E5-TDM to the removable media on the active MASP. For this example, enter this command.
  copy-gpl:sloc=1116:dloc=1115:ddrv=remove
  
  During command execution, these messages should appear.
```
    rlghncxa03w 09-03-01 14:50:46 GMT EAGLE5 40.1.0
    COPY-GPL: MASP B - COPY STARTS ON ACTIVE MASP
;

    rlghncxa03w 09-03-01 14:50:46 GMT EAGLE5 40.1.0
    COPY GPL: MASP B - COPY TO REMOVABLE DRIVE COMPLETE
```

Verify the GPLs on the removable media with the rtrv-gpl command.

This is an example of the possible output.

Command Executed

This example shows GPLs on an EAGLE that has E5-based control cards installed. The GPLs were copied to the removable media in both MASPs. The USB credit card flash media is not inserted into the USB credit card flash media drive in the E5-MCAP card of the active MASP (card location 1115). If the GPLs were copied only to the removable media on the active MASP, the removable media is not inserted in the standby MASP and the GPL version number for the standby MASP is not displayed.

Perform the following action:

Remove the removable media from the removable media drives on the MASPs. For more information on removing the removable media from the removable media drives, refer to Removable USB Drive.
Label the removable media, 1 through 4 if the backup is performed weekly or monthly, A through D if the backup is performed quarterly.

For more information on labeling the removable media, see Chapter 2, “Preventive Maintenance,” in Maintenance Guide.
