Restoring data from a partial backup

The following procedure describes how to restore data from a partial backup file. To restore data from a full backup file, see the instructions for restoring the system in the Installation section of this help system.

To restore data from a partial backup file:

1. From web administration, go to the Restore screen (Backup/Restore > Restore).
2. Select Restore.
3. Examine and, if necessary, change the NFS Mount Directory path or the tape drive path to where the backup files are stored.

   Note: The radio button to select between an NFS mount directory and Tape drive will only appear if the IR system has a tape drive connected to it, which is ready

4. Select Submit.

   The system displays the Restore from NFS Mount Directory screen. For information about this screen, see Restore from NFS Mount Directory screen.

5. In the Backup File Name field, select the backup file that you want to use to restore data.
6. (Optional) If you want to specify a list of files to restore, in the File List field, specify the full path of the file that contains a list of backed up files to be restored.

   For information about creating a file that contains the list of files to backup, see Creating a file list for a partial backup or restore.

   For information about how to display a list of available backup files, see Viewing backup file content.

7. Examine and, if necessary, change the value in the Stop the voice system before restore? field.
8. If the Avaya IR system has a local Oracle database, specify a user name to log into Oracle. This Oracle user account must have permission to stop and start the Oracle server.
9. Select Submit.

   The system displays a dialog box with the following message:

   If this is the last Partial Restore, then the system needs to be rebooted after the restore completes.

10. Select OK.

    The system displays a dialog box with the following message:

    Please check the restore status in file "/vs/data/restore.status" if the session times out during the backup.

11. Select OK.

    The system displays information about the restore process.

    Note: Files that have been backed up, and stored on a tape drive take a longer time to restore than files being restored from an NFS Mount Directory.
