Configuration Backup
After completing the SMP2 configuration, Thinklogical recommends creating a backup using
one of the following methods:
1. The IMPORT and EXPORT functions provide a fast and convenient means to save and reload
the SMP2 configuration files. This facilitates offline editing and restoration of archived configurations
and is a convenient way to save work as the system is being built. It is then relatively easy to ‘go
back one version’ if an error is made.
Selecting EXPORT will save the appropriate file to the directory /home/user/Downloads
These functions are context sensitive. For example, the stations.csv file is exported when in either
the SRCS, DSTS, KBDS, FRMS or MTX Tabs and contains all the information within those tabs.
The tabs HOTKEYS, TIE LINES, USERS, TAGS and POOLS will export their corresponding files.
Files that can be exported and imported are:
• stations.csv
• hotkeys.csv
• tielines.csv
• users.csv
• tags.csv
• allocations.csv
If MACROS are created, they cannot be archived using the IMPORT and EXPORT functions. These
macros are located separately in the /opt/tl/setup/macros directory and a backup must be copied
from there.
2. Create a backup of your entire configuration:
Issue the following command from any directory (for example):
tar -cvzPf customer_20190718.tgz /opt/tl/setup
This will create a backup file of the entire setup directory with your name (customer) and date
(20190718). This is also the preferred method for creating a backup to archive your configuration
in a location separate from the SMP2 itself for safekeeping.
