NTP- D108 Back Up the Database
NTP-D108 Back Up the Database
Note You must back up and restore the database for each node on a circuit path in order to maintain a complete
circuit.
Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored: node name, IP address, subnet mask and
gateway, and Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) port. If you change the node name and then restore a
backed up database with a different node name, the circuits map to the new node name. Cisco
recommends keeping a record of the old and new node names.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at the node that you want to back up. If you
are already logged in, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 In node view, click the Maintenance > Database tabs.
Step 3 Click Backup.
Step 4 Save the database on the workstation’s hard drive or on network storage. Use an appropriate file name
with the .db file extension; for example, database.db.
Step 5 Click Save.
Step 6 Click OK in the confirmation dialog box.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Purpose This procedure stores a backup version of the TCC2/TCC2P (software)
