1. Use your AirWave Installation CD to build a new machine. The new machine must be running the same version
as the AirWave that created the backup file.
2. Copy the nightly_data00[1-4].tar.gz file to the /tmp directory in the new AirWave.
A file transfer client that supports SFTP/SCP for Windows is WinSCP: http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/
WinSCP allows you to transfer the nightly00[1-4].tar.gz file from your local PC to the new AirWave using the
secure copy protocol (SCP).
3. Log onto the new server as root.
4. Change to the scripts directory by typing scripts.
5. Run the restore script by typing ./amp_restore -d /tmp/nightly_data00[1-4].tar.gz.
NOTE: Network administrators can now use the nightly backup from a 32-bit AMP to restore AMP on a 64-bit installation, rather than
having to create a special backup file or use the special restore script.
Using AirWave Failover for Backup
The failover version of AirWave provides a many-to-one hot backup server. The Failover AirWave polls the watched
AMPs to verify that each is up and running. If the watched AirWave is unreachable for the specified number of polls,
the Failover AirWave automatically restores the most recent saved backup from the watched AirWave and begins
polling its APs.
Navigation Section of AirWave Failover
The Navigation section displays tabs to all main GUI pages within AirWave Failover. The top bar is a static
navigation bar containing tabs for the main components of AirWave, while the lower bar is context-sensitive and
displays the subtabs for the highlighted tab. Table 124 describes the contents of this page.

Adding Watched AirWave Stations
Navigate to the Home > Watched AMPs page to begin backing up and monitoring AirWave stations. Once an
AirWave installation has been added to the Watched AMP list, the Failover AMP will download the most recent
backup and begin polling. The Failover AMP and the Watched AMP must be on the same version or else the
