Media server Web interface tasks
Key tasks that administrators typically perform on Avaya media servers are summarized in this
section. See online help for more detailed information.

Backing up and restoring data

One of the most important tasks is to set up a schedule to routinely back up system data to a
safe location. Because the S8300 Media Server does not include a media storage device for
backup purposes, the data must be emailed or transferred using file transfer protocol (FTP) to
another server or computer for backup. The S8700 Series Media Server has a local removable
storage device.
The Web interface allows you to back up call-processing data (Avaya Communication Manager
"translations"), server system data, and security files. Avaya recommends that you encrypt the
backup files to keep this sensitive information secure.
