When your Messaging topology includes more than one application role for a specific site, you must configure all application roles that support the site identically. To ensure this, back up the first server you configure and then copy the server files to subsequent application servers.
If your topology includes multiple sites, the sites will have different settings. For example, different dial plans. Therefore, do not restore backed-up files from one site to servers that support a different site.
The time taken for backup will vary depending on the amount of data.
You obtain login credentials to a FTP server for storing the application backup data.
You have completed all administration tasks for the first or only application role. See Initial administration checklist for application roles.
