Backing up recovery system files
To back up the system configuration files:
1. Under Data Backup/Restore, click Backup Now.
2. Select the data sets, including Avaya Call Processing (ACP) translations and Save ACP
translations prior to backup. Do not select Full Backup because this option does not

Note:
If you back up to a flashcard, Avaya recommends that you use a different

translations if you need to back out of the upgrade, migration, or conversion
procedure.
3. Select the backup method.
4. Click Start Backup to start the back up process.
