Lab Exercise 3-1 Part 6: Backup Configuration Files

Step Action
1 It is strongly recommended to backup all configuration files, to be used in case of a Utility
node failure.

To do this, in the ssh-putty session logged in as root you have open from your previous lab,
type

cd /root

2 To run the backup script, type

/usr/local/avamar/bin/backup_upgrade_files

Note: The backup_upgrade _files script will return an error for backing up replication
information, since replication is not setup on this system. It is safe to ignore this error in this
case.
