Configure Scheduled Configuration Backups

This task explains how to establish an automatic, timed backup of your configuration and send it to a push-receiver.

Push receiver configurations establish an SFTP server to which the Enterprise SBC pushes records. You can configure the Enterprise SBC to include a copy of your backup configuration file as one of these records.

To configure scheduled configuration backups:

1. Access the schedule-backup configuration element.

   ORACLE# configure terminal
   ORACLE(configure)# system
   ORACLE(system)# system-config 
   ORACLE(system-config)# select
   ORACLE(system-config)# schedule-backup 
   ORACLE(schedule-backup)# 

2. admin-state—Enable or disable this configuration backup feature. This parameter is disabled by default.
   • disabled(default)
   • enabled
3. config-backup—Access the config-backup sub-element.

   ORACLE(config-backup)#

4. interval—Specify the interval the system uses to determine when to push backups. This parameter is weekly by default.
   • daily—24 hours from last backup
   • weekly—7 days from last backup
   • monthly—30 days from last backup
5. retry-interval—Specify the interval the system uses to determine when it tries to resend a configuration backup after an attempt fails. The range is 5 to 30 minutes and the default is 5 minutes.
6. retry-count—Specify the maximum number of times the system tries to resend a configuration backup after prior attempts fail. The range is 2 to 10 retries and the default is 5 retries.
7. push-failure-alarm—Enable or disable the generation of alarms and traps in case of any push-receiver failures. This alarm is of severity type Warning.
   • enabled (default)
   • disabled
8. push-receiver—Access the push-receiver sub-element.

   ORACLE(push-receiver)#

9. address—Enter the IPv4 address of the push receiver to which you want records sent.
   • Default: 0.0.0.0
10. username—Enter the username that the Enterprise SBC uses when it sends records to this server.
11. password—Enter the password that the Enterprise SBC uses when it sends records to this server.

    ORACLE(push-receiver)# password 
    Enter password: 
    Retype password: 
    Password updated
    ORACLE(push-receiver)#

12. data-store—Enter the absolute path on the remote server where you want the collected data placed.
13. protocol—Enter the protocol used to push configuration data to the server.
    • sftp (default)

    Note:

    For SFTP to work, you must import the public key of the SFTP server into the Enterprise SBC. See the "Manage SSH Keys" in the ACLI Configuration Guide.
