You can do a full backup or a partial backup of system data. A full backup copies all Avaya IR system files, including voice response applications to a backup file. A partial backup copies any system files that have changed during the specified time.
Before you can do a partial backup, you must first do a full backup. Avaya recommends that you perform a full backup after the initial installation of the Avaya IR system.
System data can be restored from any backup. (This procedure assumes the system is fully operational. See Restoring the system for disaster recovery.) Full and partial backups can be performed on demand, or scheduled to run on a particular day and time.
The system used to store backup files must have NFS service available, and the backup directory must be an NFS mount point. For information about how to mount an NFS file system on a machine with a Solaris 8 operating system, see "How to Mount an NFS File System" in System Administration Guide, Volume 1. If the machine on which you want to store backup files has an operating system other than Solaris 8, refer to the product documentation for your operating system.
The ulimit size for the file option on the NFS mount directory where backup files are stored should be set to unlimited or large enough to accommodate the largest expected backup file. If the NFS mount directory is not large enough to accommodate the backup file, the backup will fail.
CAUTION:
The transfer of large backup or restore images may slow your network performance, so you may want to perform backup or restore operations during non-business hours.
When backup files are no longer required, delete them, using the Delete Backup Files screen. Clean out backup files regularly, so that only up-to-date files are stored. Deleting unwanted backup files saves disk storage space and reduces confusion if you need to restore system files.
