Backup Configuration¶
Before you start¶
Goal
- Take a backup of the Altair SLC Hub configuration
Prerequisites
- If you are using Windows, you will need to login as a user that is a member of the Administrators group
Configuration backup procedure¶
To backup the configuration, the config.d directory is copied and archived.
Run the following command as superuser to preserve ownership and permissions and avoid errors:
sudo tar -cvpf HubConfigBackup.tar [etc directory]/config.d
For Windows, browse to [etc directory] (give yourself at least read access to this folder if you do not have it already).
Locate the config.d directory, right click on it, select Send to then select Compressed (zipped) folder.
Keep the archive in a safe location, or backup to a different system.
Verification¶
Backup created
- Verify that an archived file has been created, and the contents match the configuration directory.
