PC Procedure
Backing Up the System
Use this procedure to make a copy of your customized system data. You should
create a backup after each system upgrade, service technician visit, or major
system reconfiguration.
The backup does not copy any application data. For information about application
backup, see the documentation for the application.
The backup is performed using the Translation memory card (white label).
For information about the Restore procedure, see Chapter 3, "Programming
Procedures," in System Programming .
Planning Guidelines
While the backup is in progress, you cannot access any programming functions.
If any type of programming is taking place at another extension when you begin
the backup procedure, the backup is canceled and the number of the first busy
extension appears on the screen. Attempt the backup procedure again when the
busy extension becomes idle.
NOTE:
By default, the system is set to perform a backup automatically once a
week. You can change this to daily backups or to manual backups. For
more information, see "Automatic Backup" in the "Memory Card" section in
Chapter 3 of System Programming .
Default filenames in manual backups are automatically dated using the MMDD
convention with no slashes.
Task List: Backing Up the System
If necessary, read "Memory Card" in Chapter 3 of System Programming for
detailed information about this feature, including how to insert the memory
card into the PCMCIA interface slot on the processor module and
descriptions of the backup files.
