Creating a Cluster Backup

Backing up the cluster (includes OS, configuration, database and firmware) periodically enables you to restore it in the event of an emergency. RUCKUS also recommends that you back up the cluster before you upgrade the controller software.
  1. Go to Administration > Administration > Backup and Restore.
  2. Select the Cluster tab.
  3. In Cluster Backup and Restore, click Backup Entire Cluster to backup both nodes in a cluster.
    The following confirmation message is displayed: Are you sure you want to back up the cluster?
  4. Click Yes.
    The following message is displayed: The cluster is in maintenance mode. Please wait a few minutes.

    When the cluster backup process is complete, a new entry is displayed in the Cluster Backups History section with a Created On value that is approximate to the time when you started the cluster backup process.
