The Option 11C Compact supports advanced Hospitality applications,
tailored to the needs of small to medium size hotels. Option 11C Compact
Hospitality is a cost effective, integrated system that provides Meridian Mail
voicemail, call accounting software, administration telephones, MAT, and
many other features.
Option 11C Compact provides several methods of backing up customer
configured data. These methods can be categorized as either on-site backup,
or remote backup over a modem connection.
On-site backup
There are three different types of on-site backup that can be performed using
LD 43. Customer data can be backed up from the database in use to:
• the Primary Flash Drive
• the Backup Flash Drive, or
• an external Software Delivery card (PCMCIA)
Remote backup
Remote backup can be performed with LD 143 using the Customer
Configuration Backup and Restore (CCBR) feature. The CCBR feature
permits the user to backup customer configured data to an external IBM-type
PC or a Macintosh computer over a modem connection.
Note: For more information about the remote backup feature, refer to
the Customer Configuration Backup and Restore Guide.
Both the on-site and remote methods of backup can be performed during
normal system operation.
Restoring data
In the event data becomes corrupt or inoperable, backup data can be restored
to the main database and primary Flash Drives from either the External
PCMCIA card, the backup Flash Drive, or from a computer over a modem
connection.
