Step 3
To choose devices from a specific device group, click Select Groups. Click the hyperlinked device group
name to view the list of devices that belong to the group.
Step 4 Select the required device group in the Device Groups page and click OK. The devices that belong to
the selected device group are highlighted in the Configuration Backup page. You can also schedule a
backup simultaneously for all the devices existing in a group:
• Select a device group and click Backup Groups.
• Enter the scheduling information as explained after Step 5 and click Backup Groups.
Step 5 In the Configuration Backup page, click Backup to configure the backup schedule. By default, the
backup is performed as soon as possible. Other schedule choices (once, periodically, weekly, and so
forth) are activated when you deselect Start as Soon as Possible. The time you specify here to schedule
the synchronization job is the server time.
Note You might be prompted to enter your device access credentials. This option is enabled if, from
the Prime Network Administration > Global Settings > Security Settings > User Account
Settings > Execution of Configuration Operations, you checked the option Ask for user
credentials when running configuration operations. This is an enhanced security measure
restrict access to devices.
Step 6 Enter the e-mail ID(s) to which to send a notification after the schedule backup job is complete. For two
or more users, enter a comma-separated list of e-mail IDs. A notification e-mail is sent based on the
e-mail option specified in the Configuration Management Settings page.
Step 7 Click Backup. Prime Network schedules the job and redirects you to the Jobs page, where you can
monitor the status of the job.
Note If a backup is scheduled for an entire device group and if there is a change in the group by
addition or deletion of devices after job creation, Prime Network updates the job accordingly
such that all the devices available in the group at the time of execution of the job are considered
for backup.
