Full backups
During a full backup, all Avaya IR system files, including voice response applications, are copied. Before starting a full backup, the voice system is stopped. Schedule full backups for times when there is little or no system traffic. You may direct traffic to another Avaya IR system, if you have that option.
Partial backups
During a partial backup, the Avaya IR system copies any system files that have changed during the specified time. You do not need to stop the voice system to perform a partial backup, although it is recommended. If a large number of files will be backed up, the activity may affect system resources. It is best to perform partial backups at times of low system activity.
