Note:
recommend that you use SQL Backup and Maintenance utility to perform daily
backup and maintenance jobs, and use a restore utility to restore the database.

an empty calldb database before restore.
To set up and enable external CDR login service to the local or network drive, click the
Add button. A dialog box appears.
