Paragon-neo: How to Back-Up User Files

Calnex recommend that users regularly back-up measurement files, configuration files, reports and any user generated impairment, PFV rules and CAT mask files from Paragon-neo to a network server or another file system. Additionally, if the instrument is being returned to Calnex it is best practice to make a backup prior to shipping.

The user files are stored on the internal filesystem in the instrument, access them using the instructions below.

First, access the Paragon-neo file system using Web UI File Management, or the Samba Share (click the links for full instructions if required).

The table below shows Paragon-neo user files that should be considered for regular backup. Using the chosen file access method, copy the required folders/sub-folders below to the required destination.

Folder Name	Contents

Folder Name	Contents
CAT/Reports	Measurement report files generated by CAT.
CAT/UserMasks	User defined measurement masks.
Logs	CAT, PFV and Paragon-neo error logs.
Patterns / Impairments	User-defined impairment files.
PFV/Reports	Analysis report files generated by PFV.
PFV/Rules	User defined Packet analysis rules.
Sessions	Measurement data files.
UserSettings	All settings saved by the user from Application → Run Apps → Save/Recall Settings.

Paragon-neo operating software files do not require backing up and are not accessible to users

Session files in particular can be multiple gigabytes each resulting in a lot of data, ensure there is enough space on the destination system prior to starting the backup process.
