What is a backup?

A backup is a copy or reserve of the original data of an information system, which can be stored in a secure place or a secure region of the system's memory, in order to be able to have its information available again in case of any event, accident, or disaster that causes its loss from the system. Most OLTs are enabled for this information.

Where does the OLT store the backups?

OLTs choose to store their backups on various servers based on various protocols, such as:

  • sftp: Secure File Transfer Protocol (Secure file transfer protocol), ensures encrypted data transfer between client and server systems, and vice versa, with a single connection.
  • tftp: Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a simple protocol that provides basic file transfer function without user authentication.
  • xmodem: Like most file transfer protocols, it divides the original data into a series of "packets" that are sent to the receiver, along with additional information that allows the receiver to determine if that packet was received correctly.
  • ftp: File Transfer Protocol, is a network protocol for file transfer between systems connected to a TCP network, based on client-server architecture.

Where does AdminOLT store my backups?

The AdminOLT system offers access to an FTP server for the user. This information is configured on the OLT where the last one will send the information to the aforementioned server based on specific commands. If you have doubts about how to perform this process, you can consult the following manual. FTP Users
