This section explains how to backup and restore SNMP Plug-in system.
System Data includes SNMP Plug-in's Node management configuration and account configuration.
The following information will be backed up.

- MIB Files
- Log Files
- Configurations by "SNMP Plug-in Configuration" utility
- Configurations by "Action Command Configuration Utility"
- Configurations by "Event Filter Configuration Utility"

> Note

> > There's no function to initialize SNMP Plug-in database. But you can achieve the same result by creating a backup of SNMP Plug-in system just after its installation and restoring it.

> Note

> > The following settings are not backed up because they are environment-dependent. Please re-configure manually according to your environment:
> > - Server PC's IP address

> Note

> > It does not contain AVM EX's AMF device information, licenses and AWC Plug-in's AP management data.
> > Data managed by AVM EX and the AWC Plug-in system should be backed up by a separate utility for each system.
> > Therefore, it is recommended that you also take backups for AVM EX and AWC Plug-in when you backup SNMP Plug-in system data.

> Note

> > It is recommended that you take a backup regularly.
