Restore Messaging System

Requests to have PARTNER Messaging perform a Restore must be initiated by the System Manager and can be originated via Touch-Tone System Administration or the terminal interface. When you request a System Restore, PARTNER Messaging reads data that was previously stored on the Port Card during a successful Backup, and writes it to the PARTNER Messaging system's memory.

Notes:

Before initiating a Restore, if the PARTNER Messaging module is defective, it should be replaced. If the same module is going to be re-used, it should first be reinitialized to factory default settings. Call the helpline at 1 800 628-2888 for assistance or call your authorized dealer.
PARTNER Messaging must be in idle status for the Restore process to begin. If any voice messaging ports are in use (that is, off-hook), the Restore request will be rejected.
If the system cannot initiate a Restore, note the error message, and call the helpline at 1 800 628-2888 for assistance or call your authorized dealer.
PARTNER Messaging voice messaging services are not available while a Restore is in progress.
Once initiated, the Restore process cannot be interrupted by the System Manager.
The system automatically restarts following a successful Restore. The current terminal session is dropped and cannot be reestablished until the system has rebooted itself. You must re–establish a remote or local terminal session to perform subsequent functions.

If you need your entire system backed up and restored, use the PC-based system administration software. See the PARTNER Messaging Release 1.0 System Administration guide for more information.
