Cisco HSI Backup and Restore Procedures

The Cisco HSI provides a script for backing up configuration data. The script enables a system administrator to perform manual backups, schedule and administer automatic backups, and view a history of the most recent 30 backups performed.

Note You must be logged in to the Cisco HSI system as root to run the backup procedures described in this appendix.

The procedures for restoring system data are in the "Cisco HSI Restore Procedures" section.

Backup Procedures

This section describes the following backup procedures:

•Performing a Manual Backup

•Scheduling an Automatic Backup

•Listing Scheduled Automatic Backups

•Removing all Automatic Backups from the Schedule

•Listing Previous Backups

Performing a Manual Backup

To perform a manual backup, enter the following UNIX command on the Cisco HSI:
hsibackup -d path [-r retries -t retry_time]
Command Description

The hsibackup command includes the following parameters:

•path—The full path of the directory in which the backup file is stored. The target directory could be on a remote server that is mounted on your system or on the local tape drive. (The local tape drive is the default location.)

Caution Because storing backup files on the local host reduces the amount of disk space available for processing call data, we recommend that you do not store backup files on your local Cisco HSI host. Also, storing backup files on the local host does not ensure that the data is safe in the event of a natural disaster.

Note If the path you enter is for a tape device, insert a new tape into the device for each backup. Backup data present on a used tape will be overwritten by a manual backup.

•retries—The number of times to check for an active provisioning session on the Cisco HSI before terminating the backup operation. The default value is 0 and the maximum value is 100.

•retry_time—The number of seconds to wait between checks for an active provisioning session on the Cisco HSI. The default value is 30 seconds and the maximum value is 3600 seconds.

Example

To perform a manual backup for which the backup file is saved to a directory path named /dev/rmt/h0, with a maximum of one attempt and with consecutive attempts, 30 seconds apart, enter the following UNIX command:
hsibackup -d /dev/rmt/h0 -r 1 -t 30
Note You can enter the keystroke command Ctrl-C at any time to halt execution of the hsibackup script.

The name of the backup file is stored in the specified directory path in the following format:

hsi_hostname_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_backup

In this format:

•hostname—The name of the Cisco HSI host, such as HSI-01.

•yyyymmdd—The date on which the backup file is created, in a year-month-day format, such as 20011130 (November 30, 2001).

•hhmmss—The time when the backup file is created, in an hour-minute-second format, such as 115923 (11:59:23 a.m.).

Scheduling an Automatic Backup

To schedule an automatic backup, perform the following steps.

Note You must be logged in to the Cisco HSI system as root to schedule an automatic backup.

Step 1 Enter the following UNIX command on the Cisco HSI:
hsibackup -s
The system displays a response similar to the following:
Backup Schedule Menu
----------------------------------
Note: to exit the script at anytime enter Ctrl-C.
1. Add a scheduled backup
2. Delete a scheduled backup
3. Delete all scheduled backups
4. List scheduled backups
5. Exit
Step 2 Enter 1 to add an automatic backup to the schedule.

When you enter the name of your automatic backup, the system returns a response similar to the following:
Enter the directory in which to place the backup file (default=/dev/rmt/0):
Step 4 Enter the directory path where you want the backup file stored.

Note Your local tape drive is the default directory.

Caution Because storing backup files on the local host reduces the amount of disk space available to process call data, we recommend that you do not store backup files on your local Cisco HSI host. Also, storing backup files on the local host does not ensure that the data is safe in the event of a natural disaster.

Note If the path you enter is for a tape device, insert a new tape into the device for each backup. Backup data present on a used tape is overwritten by a manual backup.

When you enter your directory path, the system displays a response similar to the following:
Enter the number of retries (default=0):
Step 5 Enter the number of times to check for an active provisioning session on the Cisco HSI before the backup is terminated.

Note The maximum number of retries is 100.

When you enter the number of retries, the system displays a response similar to the following:
Enter the time between retries (default=30 seconds):
Step 6 Enter the number of seconds to wait between checks for an active provisioning session on the Cisco HSI.

Note The maximum number of seconds between checks is 3600.

When you enter the time between checks, the system displays a response similar to the following:

Note Schedule your automatic backup for a time when your system experiences its lowest call volume to minimize the effect of the backup on call processing.

When you enter your time setting, the system displays a response similar to the following:
Save this scheduled backup (y/n)?
Step 9 Enter Y if you want to add this automatic backup. Enter N if you do not want to add an automatic backup.

Note You can enter the keystroke command Ctrl-C at any time to halt execution of the hsibackup script.

The system displays a response similar to the following:
Press enter to continue:
Step 10 Press Enter to return to the backup schedule menu. You can exit the utility or schedule another backup.

When the automatic backup executes, the backup file is stored in the specified directory path in the following format:

hsi_hostname_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_backup

In this format:

•hostname—The name of the Cisco HSI host, such as HSI-01.
