14. A Secondary Backup T/Mon is a Great Databasing Tool

You might be reluctant to update your T/Mon database, because you don't want to take the T/Mon out of Monitor Mode. But if you have a secondary backup T/Mon, you can easily do live updates of your T/Mon database.

Just do your databasing work on the backup T/Mon. When you're finished, you can copy the new database to the primary T/Mon on the fly.

As an added bonus, this procedure makes sure that both T/Mon units have the most recent alarm database.
