Backing Up the System to the PC Card

Following MERLIN Messaging System programming, you can back up programmed configuration data and a subset of the Automated Attendant Menu, Submenu, and Announcement prompts onto the PC Card. The backed up information may be used to perform a system restore if the system fails or if data becomes corrupted.

If you need your entire system backed up and restored, use the PC-based system administration software. See the MERLIN Messaging Release 2 System Administration Guide for more information.


Note:
  • The MERLIN Messaging System must be in an idle state in order for the backup to begin.
  • Prior to starting the backup process, the system will busy-out the messaging ports.
  • During the backup process, the system does not answer calls.
  • The backup process can take up to 20 minutes.
