Defining Backup Devices And Network Destinations; Nortel Callpilot; Administrator Guide; Nn44200-601 01.11 Standard - Nortel CallPilot Administrator's Manual

You must ensure that the backup was completed with no errors before you
can assume that the backup is usable. Check the log files or the Alarm
Monitor for errors.
Ensure you know how to label backup media for easy retrieval. All backup
tapes must be specially formatted for CallPilot server backup data. When
you schedule a full system backup, selecting Backup overwrites any existing
data on the tape. The overwrite process formats the tape for CallPilot
server backups.
If you schedule your system backup and your secondary disk backups (TRP
three-drive systems only) at different times, but intend to use the same tape,
append the data. Do not overwrite the existing data.

Storage
Do not store your backup tapes in the same location as your original data.
Keep full backups at a separate, safe location. Ensure that only authorized
personnel have full access to the sites and ensure that those responsible for
maintaining backups fully understand their roles.
Store your backup media in an environment that meets the media
manufacturer's storage requirements. Tape is sensitive to high temperatures
(> 60 degrees Celsius/140 degrees Fahrenheit). Do not store the tapes in
direct sunlight or near sources of excessive heat.
