Creating jobs

octoplant allows you to create jobs and to check regularly for any changes made to the data. The purpose of the jobs is to create a backup copy of the configuration.

The ports through which a connection is established can be changed in the job configuration. When using TFTP, only one switch can be accessed at a time. If it is necessary to backup several switches simultaneously, you will need to set a different TFTP port for each switch and in addition increase the maximum number of parallel uploads in the AdminClient via the menu item INI files.
