Manual Backup

Caution: As a precaution, it is recommended to transfer a copy of the Panorama PON database backup and/or OLT backup files to a remote location, burn it to a CD, etc. In the event of a disaster recovery situation (refer to Panorama PON Installation and System Administration User's Guide, Disaster Recovery Procedures), the latest backup files may not be available if not copied to a remote location.

The default Windows Server OLT backup folders is:

• C:/Tellabs/PanoramaPON/bbmgr/server/data/FastBackupRestoreSubSystem/backup

  Note:  To perform this procedure, the HTTP account must be configured. Refer to HTTP Configuration.

Panorama PON supports OLT backup to a file, which can then be restored to the OLT. To backup the OLT database:

1. In the Common Tree, select the appropriate OLT.
2. In the Application View Bar, click Backup Restore () icon.
3. In the Backup Restore window, CLICK the Restore tab:
   
   

    

4. The system generates a backup file name based on the OLT TID, followed by _Backup, date, and time: <TID>_Backup_<MMDDYY>_<HHMMSS>. For example, WprlWorld-1150-128_Backup_DEC_23_2024_10H_23M.

   Note: The user can change the date and time part of the generated backup file name (it must always begin with <TID_Backup>) and append additional characters to the end of the file name (up to a total filename length of 60 characters) before starting the procedure.
