The Remote Config Archive page (Settings icon > Database Settings > Remote Config Archive) controls the automatic archiving and copying of the NetMRI configurations. Also check Data Retention settings in the Data Retention topic, as they have a significant influence on the time periods between data archiving events for specific data sets in NetMRI.
When enabled, this automatic process creates an archive of the configurations and copies it to one or two servers that support SCP.
To set up automatic configuration archiving, perform the following:
- Go to the Settings icon > Database Settings > Archive Database.
- Select the archiving Frequency (Daily or Weekly).
- If you selected weekly archiving, then select the Day of Week.
- Select the Hour to Start and Minute to Start.
- Show Passwords: Select Yes or No.
- For each remote backup location, specify the following:
- Backup Destination
- Username
- Password
- Use SSH keys: Select this to use SSH keys instead of passwords. For more information about SSH keys, see ssh-key commands.
- Backup Directory
Include date in directory name: Check to date-stamp the archive directory name.
Note
To archive the database to another NetMRI appliance, enter admin as the Username and enter Backup as the Backup Directory.
- To test the configuration, click Test.
- If the test is successful, click Update.
