Backing Up & Restoring the System
It is a good idea to back up your voice messaging system files on a regular
basis. You may also want to back up voice messaging system files after the
initial installation, before upgrading the system, and after upgrading the
system.
You can use the Backup Schedule screen to schedule two different types of
backups:
• An immediate backup. See "To schedule an immediate backup" on page 53.
• Two scheduled backups. You can set up to two daily, weekly or monthly recur-
ring backups.
The backup process requires that you select the type of backup and
indicate the appropriate directory path for storing backup files:
• For a network backup, indicate a remote directory path on a network drive. For
backing up to Windows NT with NetBIOS over TCP/IP, see "Windows connec-
tion with NetBIOS."
• For a local backup, indicate a local directory path on the voice messaging sys-
tem's hard disk.
• Back up your files on a regular schedule, such as every month.
TIP:
• Keep a written log of the directory path where your backup files are
stored.
Use the voice messaging system's Backup screen to schedule backups of
the voice messaging system's files. You can choose whether you want to
backup prompts, logs, and incoming messages. The voice messaging
system's database and OGMs (opening greeting messages) are included in
all backups.
To schedule an immediate backup
1 Go to the Backup Schedule screen.
2 In the "Name" field of the Immediate Backup section, type the name you
want to use for the backup file set.
3 In the "Destination path" field, type the path to where you want the files
saved.
The directory path must exist before the system will accept it as
NOTE:
the destination path.
4 In the "Contents" field, select which files that you want to back up.
5 In the "Start backup" filed, type y and press ENTER.
6 The voice messaging system then performs an immediate backup. It
may take up to a minute to start.
For network backups, you must install the correct network protocols
NOTE:
on your voice messaging system. See "Installing network protocols
for backups," on page 43.
