Abstract
An element management system that can itself be used to perform automatic remote backup of the network elements. A backup procedure is launched on a programmed schedule, to maintain a centrally located copy of the local data stored in the network elements (or their subcomponents). In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, a computer/software system for managing telecommunication network elements includes one or more operator-driven processes which monitor and manage network elements in real time, using at least one telecommunications network control channel. Background processes which remotely back-up information which had been locally stored in ones of said network is automatically initiated.
