Introduction 1 Introduction Product Overview The Motorola Automated ackup System (MAS) is a software package that allows for the automated backup of key customer products and for the restoration of these backups in the event of system failure. Digital backups stored in a local or remote repository replace the dependency on tapes, which must be physically changed daily and transported to an off-site location for storage. The Automated ackup System also provides a backup solution for CASMR/CAST/CSS servers, which do not have tape backup capabilities. Motorola s Automated ackup System provides many advantages over existing tapebased backup methods. Motorola expertise: ackup software, professional planning, and configuration of your backup schema by Motorola are included with the Automated ackup System. Motorola is unsurpassed in DAC 6000, CASMR/CAST/CSS, and SDM backup and restore planning, system integration, and project planning expertise. Motorola also has the field engineering and technical support resources required to successfully deploy an automated backup solution. Cost effectiveness: Reduces operating expenses with the elimination of manual backups on tape, s hipping, and s torage fees. Automation: M anual tape rotation and manual tape pickup for remote storage are not required. Reliability: Disk backup is more robust and is configured for hard drive redundancy, whereas tapes degrade over time, can become unreliable, and can be lost or damaged. Assurance: Automated alerts proactively inform remote operations personnel when a backup did not complete s ucces s fully. S torage size: E fficient backup logic stores only data that has changed since the last backup, which reduces the amount of storage space required. S ecurity: Use of secure S S H and VPN technology, along with encryption of data to a remote backup location, keeps the data safe. New Features in MAS v3.0 Changed backup and restore routines to use steps defined in the database instead of hard-coded in the software. Motorola Automated ackup Service MAS v3.0 User Guide 6
Introduction Added support for custom devices, backup and restore options, and the steps needed to perform all options, allowing these devices to be backed up and restored without the need for a new MAS release. Added tracking of software version for backups and devices, and added user notifications when restores are attempted with version mismatches. Added support for restoring backups to devices of the same type but different than the device of origin. Added an option to define secondary devices for a device s backup options. Active secondary devices receive an automatic restore after scheduled backups, facilitating hot spares. Added support for table sorting and page navigation on the Devices screen.

Managing ackups 2 Managing ackups Managing ackups with MAS The basic functionality of MAS can be summarized as: Execute backups according to a defined schedule. Restore backups to a target device. Maintain backups as specified by a schedule. MAS runs on the NPT RAID platform. The Web-based UI is accessed using a Web browser. JavaScript must be enabled in the browser. To display the MAS UI, browse to http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mabs, where "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" is the IP address of the NPT server. The MAS UI is presented as a series of tabbed screens. When you are navigating through the screens, use the ack button to return to the previous screen. Getting a Quick Summary of System Status The Summary screen is the first screen displayed when you start a session. The Summary screen displays the drive space used by MAS backups on the NPT server, and the status of the last five backups. The NPT has a 250 G drive, of which approximately 200 G is available for backups. Drive usage is presented as a percentage of the total space available. If the drive usage is greater than 80 percent, Motorola TAC is automatically alerted and will contact you to discuss remedies. Figure 1: Summary Screen Motorola Automated ackup Service MAS v3.0 User Guide 8
Managing ackups Getting a Calendar View of ackups The ackups screen allows you to view a month-by-month calendar of backups and their current statuses. You can see past backups and backups scheduled to occur in the future. Filtering options allow the view to be customized by Device type or a specific Device. Figure 2: ackups Screen Motorola Automated ackup Service MAS v3.0 User Guide 9
Managing ackups Table 1 ackup statuses Status Pending Description The backup is scheduled to run. In Progress The backup is running. Transferring To Repository Complete Restore In Progress Complete With Errors Expired Timeout Failed The backup is being transferred to the remote repository. The backup completed normally and was copied to the remote repository. The backup is being restored. The backup completed normally but was not copied to the remote repository. The local copy is good.* The start time for the backup passed and the backup did not run, most likely because the backup was scheduled to occur when the backup system was down.* The backup ran but did not complete within the configured maximum run time.* The backup failed.* *The Motorola TAC is alerted when an error occurs, and will contact you to discuss remedies. Getting Information about an Individual ackup Hover your mouse cursor over a backup on the calendar to display a screen tip with information about the backup, including the time it was run, the device that was backed up, backup options applied, and the status of the backup. Additional information is displayed as required. Motorola Automated ackup Service MAS v3.0 User Guide 10

Managing Repositories 4 Managing Repositories Repositories Screen The Repositories screen lists the name, IP address, and base folder of the NPT server (and optional remote repositories) to which backups are stored. y default, MAS creates backups in the local MAS storage on the NPT. Optionally, you can add a remote repository on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server. If the backup schedule is configured to use a remote repository, MAS stores the backup locally on the MAS hard drive (NPT). After verifying that the local backup completed successfully, MAS copies the backup to the remote repository. Figure 34: Repositories Screen Motorola can provide a NAS server for an additional fee. Contact your Motorola account manager if you would like to use a Motorola NAS server. You may use your own NAS server, provided it meets the following criteria: Linux-based NAS servers Linux is the preferred operating system because it enables MAS to verify the accurate transfer of data to the NAS. You may use a Linux-based NAS server with MAS if it has: SSH allowing Password Authentication and SFTP A user account with read/write access to the desired file system location Motorola Automated ackup Service MAS v3.0 User Guide 38
