<p style="margin-left: 10px;" align="left">The Exit Service Backup
button is only enabled while you are in Service Backup Mode.&nbsp;
Selecting this button will run the clean up script and will exit the
Service Backup GUI when it is finished.&nbsp; The Clean Up Service
Backup button is enabled even when you are not in Service Backup
Mode.&nbsp; Selecting this button while in Service Backup Mode will run
the clean up script, but will not exit the Service Backup GUI.&nbsp;
Selecting this button while you are not in Service Backup Mode will
bring up a GUI that allows you to enter the 3 letter ID of the site
that you wish to clean up.</p>

<p style="margin-left: 10px;">This button will become disabled when
your are in the process of exporting your grids to the central server
for service backup.&nbsp; At this time, the button will read "Currently
Exporting CCC's Digital Data" and you may not start up another export
until it is finished.&nbsp; If the export was started from the ifps
crontab, then the script will sleep for a random amount of time (up to
30 minutes) between running ifpnetCDF and sending the grids to the
central server.&nbsp; This is done to prevent all WFOs from exporting
their grids at the same time.&nbsp; If you send the grids from the
Service Backup GUI, they will be send immediately after ifpetCDF
runs.&nbsp; </p>

<p style="margin-left: 10px;">Starting in IFPS16.1, the Service Backup
GUI contains an option to export the failed site's digital data to the
central server.&nbsp; This is a cautionary step to help prevent the
loss of data when restoring grids to a failed site.&nbsp; If you are
unable to export a failed site's grids back to them, you can export
them to the central server.&nbsp; Then, the failed site can contact the
NCF, who has instructions on how to restore the digital data from the
central server.</p>
