You can create a new backup of the Fabric Manager database. The backup contains information about all the platforms and partitions in the fabric and are critical to the operations. It is recommended to take a Fabric Manager database backup every time the composition of your Forward fabric changes, such as commissioning or decommissioning partitions.
To generate a backup,
From the FMP Manager user interface, select the Utilities menu, and then on the Utilities page, select the FFM Backup tab.
Click Generate BackUp.
A confirmation message appears.
Click Yes.
The FFM Backup page displays the generated backup.
Note: You can limit the number of backups. Once the limit is reached, the older backups are deleted to accommodate the new backups.
