Distribution service

You can use the distribution service to automatically copy the auto-backup files to
an FTP server or e-mail them.
• The e-mail distribution service sends a copy of each auto backup created to a
preconfigured e-mail address.
• The FTP distribution service stores a copy of each auto-backup created on an
FTP server.

Manual backup

With manual backup you can back up the configuration data or audio data as a zip
file in any medium you want. Situations in which you are advised to create a man-
ual backup:
• Before running a first-start of the communication server (a first start resets all the
configuration data to their default values).
• Before and after you have expanded (or reduced) the communication server
with cards or modules.
• Before and after any major configuration changes.

Restoring a backup

The available configuration backups of the auto backup function are listed at the
bottom of the edit view. The backups can be deleted or restored individually.
A manually created audio data backup can also be restored.
Note:
– Restoring a backup irretrievably overwrites the current configuration
data or audio data.
– Restoring a configuration backup also resets the users' presence sta-
tus, the personal routing settings and any activated CFUs to the
backup status.
– Some configuration changes only take effect after a restart. Once a
configuration backup upload operation is completed, the communica-
tion server is restarted.
