How to setup a fTP backup rule on a 4.5 system 1

[atascoman]

When I try to create a rule it appears to take it but doesn't show up when I try to print it. Can someone give me the exact syntax I need to enter if I am trying to setup an FTP back to a server at 10.10.80.14 in folder \pbxbk\bms please.

are you using Element Manager or CLI?
you need to setup your FTP server first

I use Filezilla for my FTP
define the user name and password
define the root folder for that user
that's all I needed; I use the same server to backup 6 different sites with each site (user) configured for it's own root folder.

next you need to create the route table to the FTP server path - then enable it - next configure the backup rule - next configure the backup schedule

Element Manager
go to System ->
IP Network ->
Host and Route Tables ->
add a new route to your server with FTP running **use the FTP server address and the gateway IP it needs to use to reach that IP (usually the same GW that your Signaling Server uses) ->
after you add it then you need to enable it ->
next go to Tools ->
Backup and Restore ->
Call Server ->
Select Backup Rules ->
add a Backup Rule ->
Rule Type FTP ->
Rule Name **Whatever** ->
IP of the FTP Server ->
Login or User Name of the configured FTP user ->
the password twice ->
the path ./ **that's a dot in front of the slash ->
and number of versions to keep ->
go back to Call Server ->
select Backup Schedules ->
assign a Backup Schedule number ->
select the Backup Rule you just created ->
you can complete the rest of that setup.




CLI
LD 117

=> prt route **will show you all routes configured **make sure it's not already there
=> new route <ftp server IP> <gateway IP>; example 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.1 <cr>
=> prt route **will show you all routes configured including the one you jusat built
=> enl route <route ID> **get this from the prt route
=> ping 192.168.1.100 **should be able to ping the FTP server
create backup rule
from NTP
NEW BKPR <rule number> FTP <IP addr> <login><pwd> <path> [<N of versions>] [<name>]
translates to example below defining rule 3
=> new bkpr 3 ftp 192.168.1.100 username password ./ 1 Daily
create backup schedule
from NTP
NEW BKPS <schedule number 1-10> <Rule for BKUP> <FREQ> <DAY> <HOUR>
translates to example below defining schedule 1
=> new bkps 1 3 D 23 00 ** defines schedule as schedule 1 using backup rule 3 daily at 2300 hours


Hope this helps!

Not much. Just trying to keep some of these old Nortel systems kicking....

When I go to the backup and restore in EM I don't see any options to add the rules. Is that a CDB option you have to enable?
