About backup and restore
Backup and restore are part of the basic system functionality. You can perform a full system backup and incremental backups. Backup and restore are only supported over a LAN connection.
The backup and restore features give you the capability to perform any of the following:
Software requirements
This feature requires the Backup and Restore Utilities software package.
Using this feature
Administer backup and restore using the Backup and Restore screens in Web Administration or the backup and restback commands. You can automate backups by creating a backup cron job.
Note:
The transfer of large backup and restore images may have a negative impact on network performance, so perform backup and restore operations during off hours.
After the system is first installed, configured, and tested, Avaya strongly recommends creating a full system backup to capture the system configuration, application, and administration data. In the event of a complete system failure this data can be used to reestablish a base line functional system configuration. This backup includes file structures, configured users and passwords, recorded speech, flat files, and application data. Full backups should them be done on a weekly basis.
The system should also be incrementally backed up to capture snapshots of the system data following updates or new system information. Incremental system backups should be performed at regular intervals (daily incremental backups are recommended) to maintain recent data additions. An incremental backup is at your discretion and requires you to specify the data to be backed up. Incremental backups are used for disaster recovery or mistake recovery, as follows:
