About
the Scheduled Backup
The schedule backup runs automatically, based
on the schedule you create. The scheduled backup can contain all of
the information necessary to bring the INTUITY AUDIX system back to
an operational state after a service-affecting event. However, the scheduled
backup alone might not completely restore the system to its previous
state. Depending on the severity of the situation, INTUITY AUDIX software
might have to be reinstalled before you can restore any backups.
When scheduling the backups, follow the normal rules that apply to
backup procedures. That is, be sure to schedule the backups to run outside
of peak times when call processing on the server is at a minimum.
Scheduled backups do not require supervision.
However, for the backup to be successful, you must ensure that the ftp
server to which INTUITY AUDIX sends backup data still has space to accept
a new backup
Avaya recommends that the system administrator
check the Backup log daily to ensure that a successful scheduled backup
occurred. If a successful scheduled backup did not occur, the system
generates the MT BACKUP 1 warning
alarm.

Note: Unlike other
versions of INTUITY AUDIX systems (for example, INTUITY AUDIX
R5.1), there is no partial success of a backup. An IA 770 INTUITY
AUDIX backup is successful only if it includes all data you
select for backup. If any of the data fails to be backed up,
no data is stored.

Create (add) a new backup schedule
To create a backup schedule, you first decide what type of data you
want to back up. You then indicate the days and time you want the schedule
to run, and the destination to which you want the backup files sent.
To create a backup schedule:
- Login to the S8300 Main
Menu.
- Select:
Schedule Backup.
The system displays the Schedule Backup
screen.
If backups are already scheduled, the screen lists the current
backup schedules. Look at it carefully to determine what backup
schedule you want to add.
If this is the first backup schedule to be created, the Schedule
Backup screen displays a message that there is no record of any
backup schedule.
- Click the Add button at the bottom of the screen.
The system displays the Add New Schedule
screen.
- Click the AUDIX checkbox at the top of the INTUITY AUDIX
list of options. Then click the button for the data type or data types
you want to back up. Only one option in the list can be selected for
a specific back up. For detailed information about data sets, see
Overview of Backup and Restore.
- Select a backup method to indicate the destination to which the
system sends the backup data.
For detailed information about backup methods, see Overview
of Backup and Restore.
- If you want to encrypt the backup data, click the box in the Encryption
area of the screen and enter a pass phrase using an arbitrary string
of 15 to 256 characters.
It is strongly recommended that you encrypt the backup data. You
must remember the pass phrase because you cannot restore the data
without it.
- If necessary, scroll to the bottom of the screen. Select the days
of the week by clicking the appropriate check boxes, and select the
hour and minute you want the backup procedure to start by selecting
a time from the drop-down boxes.
You can select multiple days but only one time for the backup schedule
to run.
- Click the Add New Schedule button to save the schedule you
just created.
The system displays the Schedule Backup
screen, which adds the new backup schedule to the bottom of
the schedule list.
Change a backup schedule
You can change the days and time an existing backup schedule runs.
You can also change the destination to which the system sends the backup

The Change Current Schedule screen displays the information for the
backup schedule you selected in step 2.
- Make the changes you want to the backup schedule.
- Click the Change Backup Schedule button to save the schedule you
just created.
The system displays the Schedule Backup screen, which lists the changed
backup schedule.
