Back up XCO Database

1. Connect to the TPVM console or SSH session of the redundant IP as an Extreme user.
2. Log in to XCO using the efa login command.
3. If needed, run the efa system settings update command to configure XCO to back up to a remote server.

4. If you have configured a remote server, run the efa system backup --remote command to generate a local backup and copy the resulting tar.gz file to the configured remote device.
   Otherwise, run the efa system backup command. Local backups are stored in /var/log/efa/backup/ or /apps/efa_logs/backup/ directory. Backup files are date and time stamped in the file name.

   

   Note

   For additional backup options, see the ExtremeCloud Orchestrator Command Reference, 3.6.0 and ExtremeCloud Orchestrator CLI Administration Guide, 3.6.0
