Backups And Restores; Automatic Backups - Avaya Communication Server 1000 Installation And Commissioning Manual

Backups and restores

The E1/T1 card supports automated scheduled backups or manual backups:
• to schedule an automated backup, see
• to perform a manual backup, see
For each type of backup, the data is compressed into one zip file and sent to the specified
destination. The destination can be the Administrator's e-mail address or a remote FTP server.
The format of the backup file is D1yymmdd.zip where:
• yy = the last two digits of the year
• mm = the two digits representing the month
• dd = the two digits representing the day
Because each backup file name contains the date, each file name is different and the files
accumulate on the FTP server. Avaya recommends that you periodically delete old backup
files.
For information about how to check the status of backups, see
page 139.

Automatic backups

Important:
To ensure that automatic backups occur as scheduled, test the backup using the FTP remote
server parameters. To perform the test, select a daily backup and the nearest hour and check
to see that the backup occurs at the appointed time.
