s8300 modem backup
- Thread starter sha111
- Start date
Well, you could try it, if you are a VERY, VERY patient person, and your modem connection is ABSOLUTLEY stable.
Setup 3CDAEMON on the PC you are using to dial in, set the FTP directory to where you want the files to be stored.
When you RAS into the S8300, your PC will have an IP address assigned by the S8300 PPP service. This is the IP you will backup to.
Go into the Maint web page, do a "backup now", use FTP, type in the Ip of the RAS connection for your PC, and the login will likely be anonymous/anonymous. It will take a while, be patient.

P.S.
A better way to do this is to use a PC the client has onsite, that has either Micrtosofts FTP server running on it, or 3CDAEMON. In fact you should set this up, so it makes daily backups to a customer provided onsite FTP server...

you need an FTP server SOMEWHERE, or SCP / SFTP, those are the methods to backup an S8300. If you have CM 4, you could also put a USB reader/writer on the S8300, and backup that way.. that's only supported in CM 4 though.

It's been a while since I've done this, but....
How about this:
Start the FTP Service on the S8300.
Use that as the target for the FTP Backup.
Then when it's complete, use your laptop and go to a command prompt. type cd\ and hit enter. Then type FTP and the IP Address of the S8300 RAS connection. Login with Anonymous (you can use anything for the password) Change to the pub directory (cd pub) and then do an mget *.* and copy the files to your PC on the C drive.

web browse on to the 8300 server
go to 'server access' on the left hand menu
enable FTP
now do a backup to the 8300 ftp/pub directory
method = ftp
host is the server name - as shown in the top right corner of the web browser
login with u/n - anonymous p/w - anonymous
when complete
directory = /pub
open a new explorer window and in the address bar type:
ftp://'ip address os 8300 server@
open the 'pub' directory - you should see the backup in here
you can just copy and paste the file to your local machine / network server etc...
hope this helps

ccltd,
Tried your method and it worked, but I have 2 questions.
1 - How do you remove the files from the pub directory. I could copy the files but I was unable to delete them, looks like I didn't have permissions to delete.
2 - If you are backing up duplicated s8700's. When you dial in, the active processor answers the call and you can backup the active processor without any problems. Is there anyway of backing up the standby processor?
