Downloading a Backup Image from an FTP or SCP Server

You can choose to download a backup image from an FTP or SCP server for a restore. After it is downloaded, the system is restored in the same way as restoring from the local storage.

To download a backup image from an FTP or SCP Server for a restore:

  1. From the top menu, click Controller.
  2. From the left pane, click Administration > Software Maintenance.
  3. Select the Remote option, and then type the following:
    • Protocol – FTP or SCP.
    • Server – The server to retrieve the backup file from.
      Note

      Note

      The Server parameter supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
    • User ID – The user ID used to log into the server.
    • Password – The corresponding password for the user ID.
    • Confirm – The corresponding password for the user ID to confirm it was typed correctly.
    • Directory – The directory on the server in which the backup file that is to be retrieved is stored.
    • Filename – The name of the image file to retrieve.
  4. Click Get Image now. The image is downloaded and added to the list.
    Note

    Note

    SCP can only be used to download an image and cannot be used to start remote upgrade. The Upgrade now button is disabled when SCP is selected from the drop-down list.
