Backing Up Norstar Voice Mail Programing - Nortel Voice Mail Software Manual

Backing up Norstar Voice Mail programing

As a precaution, it is strongly recommended that the Norstar Voice Mail
programing be backed up before performing an upgrade. Before you begin, make
sure you have a sufficient number of formatted floppy disks to complete the backup.
The number of disks required will vary between 1 and 15, depending on the number
of mailboxes and greetings on the system. It is also a good idea to label the disks
numerically. Labeling the disks enables you to insert the disks in the correct order
if you have to perform a restore procedure.
All backed up data is stored in special backup files on the floppy disks. These files
are named STBCKUP.001, STBCKUP.002 and so on. The last disk in a backup has
a LASTDISK file written on it. This file is used to notify Norstar Voice Mail that
the restore process is complete.
The back up takes about 2 minutes per disk.
