Restoring T-10 Software on an APU-102 Unit

Overview

This page contains details on how to back up and restore the T-10 software on an APU-102 unit.

To protect against data loss, ensure that you routinely create a mirror backup (also known as a snapshot) of the T-10 drive. Do this both before and after running any software updates.

Back up your site parameters after any configuration change.

Use these backups to restore your T-10 software and settings in the event that the drive becomes corrupted. 

Prerequisites

Before creating a backup, ensure that:

• The T‑10 software is installed and running correctly on the APU‑102.
• Site parameters are configured.

Creating a mirror backup

Complete the following steps to create a mirror backup:

1. Connect to the APU-102 unit.
2. Enter the appropriate session number. (For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, or X.)
3. Enter your password and name credentials.
4. At APU102XP:Main 1>, enter: ibackup.
5. Press Enter.
6. Reboot the unit.
7. Access the session again.
8. At APU102XP:Main 1>, enter: \mirror.text. Verify that the creation date of the backup matches the system date of the APU-102. If the backup date is older than the system date, repeat Steps 1-8 to create a current image.

Backing up parameters

To back up parameters, complete the following steps:

1. Connect to the APU-102 unit.
2. Enter the appropriate session number. (For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, or X.)
