Backup
An administrator schedules the backup from the administration BUI.
Table 44 shows the items to consider when scheduling an automatic
backup. Some of these items also apply to an immediate backup.
Table 44
Backup considerations
Item Description
Content Specify which of the following items to backup (the default is never; that is, no backup;
however, if another option is selected in the "Schedule" section the default contents is
data only):
• Data – configuration, brandline greeting, and scheduling data (future conferences).
• Reports – includes error logs.
• Customized greetings – greetings for future meetings. Note, because this item
can reach a large file size, a technician may prefer to exclude it.
Time The database can be backed up immediately, or scheduled as a daily, weekly or
monthly backup. For scheduled backups, determine the:
• hour of the backup (hours only, no minutes)
• day of the week, if weekly
• day of the month, if monthly (1-28 only)
Destination Backup files to one of the following destinations:
• The secondary PCMCIA device, inserted in the upper slot of the MICB card.
• A remote FTP server. The system compresses (zips) the backup files, before
transferring them. Specify the server's IP address, remote folder path, FTP login,
and password for the remote server. The system names the ZIP file according to
the date. It does not overwrite previous backups.
Note: The remote folder must be an existing folder in the remote server; if this path is not found,
the system puts the backup file in the folder reached directly by FTP.
• An E-mail destination. The system compresses (zips) the backup files before
sending them. The E-mail address is the same one the system uses for other
administration E-mails (for example, reports and aged conferences).
During the backup process the card remains operational. However, the
system denies database changes and does not accept the following
operations:
•
•
•

setting up a new conference or modifying an existing conference
