Backup and Restore for NCCM device
Efficient backup and restore operations are core to Network Configuration and Compliance Management (NCCM) in Motadata AIOps. These capabilities ensure that device configurations are continuously captured, versioned, and available for recovery whenever required.
This section explains how administrators can schedule backups, store configuration data, and restore configurations for individual devices or in bulk.
NCCM Device Backup
Go to Menu. Select Settings 
. After that, select Network Config Settings 
. Select Device Inventory. Navigate to the device for which you want to schedule the backup. From the Actions tab, select Schedule Backup.
A tab to schedule the backup is displayed.
Fill the details in the pop-up to create a scheduler.

Bulk Backup of NCCM Devices
You can trigger configuration backup for multiple devices directly from the NCCM Explorer.
Select the devices that you want to back up using the checkbox in front of each device in the NCCM Explorer. To select all devices, use the checkbox available at the top of the list.
