Backing Up the Messaging System Data
The messaging system database is backed up on a regular basis. Backups include all subscriber information, system
prompts, recorded names, and can include messages. Backup files are saved with a .zip file extension.
Use the restore utility to restore data from backups or migrate data from different versions of the messaging system to
the current version. The back up and restore utilities are run using the Administration Console.
