During backups, the Avaya IR system copies files into the backup directory that you establish on another system. Systems used for backups must have NFS service available. The backup directory must be an NFS mount point. If the mounting requirements are not met, you will receive an error message, and the backup will not proceed.
In IR R2.0, the capability to backup data on a tape drive has been introduced.
Additionally, completing a full backup requires that the voice system be stopped.
