Scheduling and maintaining backups

Once your Avaya IR system is installed and set up, perform a full backup to ensure that you can restore the system, if necessary. After that, establish a schedule of regular full and partial backups to protect system data and ensure that backups have a minimal impact on system operations. Schedule a full backup weekly (generally on Sunday) and a partial backup daily. At a minimum, you should complete full backups monthly and partial backups weekly.

The Avaya IR system tracks backup activity. To review backups, go to the Backup History screen (Backup/Restore > Backup History).

The system displays information on backups. An example follows:

Last complete backup done on Mon Jul 29 15:52:10 MDT 2002 Last partial backup done on Tue Jul 30 07:42:16 MDT 2002

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 required files are stored. Deleting unwanted backup files saves disk storage space and eliminates confusion if you need to restore files.
