Getting started with backups
In this topic, you become familiar with the backup parameters for your system. You also may change the schedule for backups and complete a partial backup if changes are required and you are authorized to do so.
WARNING
Making unauthorized backups may disrupt or completely stop services to callers. If no backups are required, simply review the information about backups on your Avaya IR system.
Reviewing backup parameters
To review backup parameters:
- Go to the Default Backup Parameters screen (Backup/Restore > Default Backup Parameters).
- On the Default Backup Parameters screen, select Display Default Parameters and review the information on backup standards in effect for the Avaya IR system. To become familiar with the parameters, find the information that answers these questions:
- If you needed to restore files from backups, which directory would you check?
- How often are full and partial (incremental) backups done?
- How may days go by before a file that was modified is backed up?
- What is the priority for backups?
- How many days are full backup files retained? How many days are partial (incremental) backup files retained? (Refer to entries for cleanup.)
- How long will go by since the last full backup before an alarm is sent? How many days will go by since the last partial (incremental) backup before an alarm is sent?
Changing the backup schedule
To change the backup schedule:
- Go to the Backup Scheduling screen (Backup/Restore > Backup Scheduling).
- On the Backup Scheduling screen, select Setup Schedule.
- Make any required changes to the backup schedule.
Completing a partial backup
To complete a partial backup:
- Go to the Partial Backup screen (Backup/Restore > Backup > Partial Backup).
- On the Partial Backup screen, enter the backup parameters and select Submit.
