Backing Up And Restoring Data - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

6. The server will match your login information against its authentication tables. If the
information you entered is recognized as a valid login, the screen displays a two-frame
window, with the main menu in the left panel and a usage-agreement notice in the right
window.
If the main menu in the left panel has only about 10 links, you have accessed the server
●
from a login ID that has restricted permissions. You can adjust the login service levels
using the Login Administration screen in Avaya Site Administration or SAT.
If the server cannot recognize your user name or password, you receive an
●
authentication failure message. Return to step 5. If you fail to enter the user name and
login confirmation correctly 4 times within a few minutes, the Login screen will block
further attempts to log in for a while.
7. When you successfully log in to the server, check the top of the left panel. The Avaya media
server you are logged into is identified by name and server number. The S8300 Media
Server number is always 1. The S8700 Series Media Server shows two servers.
Web interface main menu
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) The tasks you can perform are shown by a list of
links in the left panel of the main web interface window.
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) For help with any of these tasks, click the Help
button on the main menu. Alternatively, if you have already clicked on a link, click the About
This Screen button on the web interface page to go directly to the help for that specific screen.
Media server web interface tasks
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) Key tasks that administrators typically perform on
the S8300 or S8700 Series Media Server are summarized in this section. See the online help
for complete information.

Backing up and restoring data

(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) One of the most important tasks is to set up a
schedule to routinely back up system data to a safe location. Because the S8300 Media Server
does not include a media storage device for backup purposes, the data must be emailed or
transferred using file transfer protocol (FTP) to another server or computer for backup. The
S8700 Series Media Server has a local removable storage device.
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) The web interface allows you to back up
call-processing data (Avaya Communication Manager "translations"), server system data, and
security files. Avaya recommends that you encrypt the backup files to keep this sensitive
information secure.
