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. It is recommended that you stop the voice system when creating partial backups. Partial backups may be invalid or corrupt if made while the voice system is running. If a large number of files are required to be backed up, the activity may affect system resources.
