Backing Up the DEFINITY AUDIX Data

Back up the DEFINITY AUDIX data onto a tape, which then is read and translated to Intuity AUDIX data. This procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the database.

To back up the DEFINITY AUDIX data:

The system displays a blank DEFINITY AUDIX Command Prompt screen.

2. Enter reset system oa&m

The system displays the Reset System OA&M screen.

3. Press F3 (Enter).

The system stops all calls and the cursor returns to the DEFINITY AUDIX login prompt.

4. Log in as craft.
    
   

   Note: Login attempts will not be successful until the OA&M process is complete. Continue attempting to log in occasionally until you are successful.

5. Enter add tape
6. Type a new name in the Volume Name field and press F3 (Enter).
