UNITY INSTALLATION GUIDE
At this point in the installation, it is a good idea to create an
emergency repair disk. This disk will store a record of the Win-
dows NT/2000 registry, which is a database of settings for the
accounts, hardware, and applications. Label the repair disk and
store it in a secure location.
Unity stores a lot of information in the Windows NT/2000 regis-
try; however, the registry record on the repair disk is not a sub-
stitute for a comprehensive strategy for backing up Unity. Unity
stores messages and address information in Exchange, and

stores information such as tone templates, phone system config-
page
uration information, and call routing rules in other locations.
See the Unity System Administration Guide for more information
on backup strategies.
NOTE: The emergency repair disk is not bootable.
