Goal

Customer need to do a configuration backup to current SL24 by using GUI menu below:
[Configuration] -> [Save/Restore] -> [Save Configuration to File]

How to perform this, & what are the files that gets backed up.  Is there any messages that pops up during this procedure.
 

Solution

The saved configuration database will make it easier to recover the Autoloader or Library configuration if you need to replace the chassis or library controller. Either save the configuration before configuring the network or ensure that only one device with the same network configuration is on the network at a time until they have unique network identities.

You can save the Autoloader or Library configuration to a USB flash drive from the OCP.

To save the Library or Autoloader configuration to a file: click Save under [Configuration] -> [Save/Restore] -> [Save Configuration to File] and follow the instructions on the RMI to specify a file location. It prompts for 2 Questions:

1) Are you sure you want to continue.
2) Do you want to open or save this file.
3) It gets saved to your default download location in your server where you start the RMI.
4) The file download is completed successfully.

The configuration settings that are saved to file are:
• Administrator password
• Mailslot configuration
• All network settings, including DHCP, DNS, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
• Barcode reader label length and barcode reader alignment
• Reserved slots
• Display contrast setting (SL48 only)
• Library or Autoloader mode
• All drive configuration settings
• Auto clean
• SNMP addresses and configurations
• Log tracing configuration
• Email notification configuration (SMTP address, email address, filter level)
• Option to allow the magazine access without the administrator password
• Option to ignore the barcode media ID
• Logical library configuration

Refer to page 105 in the SL24/48 Service and User Guide for Saving and Restoring the Autoloader Configuration.

Saving and restoring the Autoloader configuration (Configuration>Save/Restore Configuration)

Use this option to save the configuration settings to a USB flash drive. The saved configuration information will make it easier to recover the device configuration if you need to replace the chassis.
This feature is also useful when installing multiple devices. Either save the configuration before configuring the network or ensure that only one device with the same network configuration is on the network at a time until they have unique network identities.

1. Insert the USB flash drive in the USB port on the back of the device.

2. From the Home screen, press Previous or Next until the screen displays Configuration. Press Enter to select.

3. Press Previous or Next until the screen displays Save/Restore Configuration.
    Press Enter to select.

4. Enter the administrator password if prompted.

5. The screen displays Save Configuration to USB. Press Enter to save.

6. When the save operation is completed, remove the USB flash drive from the USB port.
