Rescheduling the MAS unattended backup

When your Avaya™ S3400 Message Server is installed, the technician administers each MAS to automatically back up MAS data every night at a scheduled time, usually one hour before midnight. You can reschedule when each MAS unattended backup occurs if you determine that the time set by the technician does not meet the needs of your company. Use the information in this topic to reschedule when the MAS unattended backup occurs.

Guidelines for scheduling the MAS unattended backup

Observe the following guidelines when rescheduling the MAS unattended backup:

• Do not schedule MAS unattended backups to occur between midnight and 4 AM. This avoids any conflict with important system audits that run every night at midnight and also with the complete system unattended backup that runs every night at 3:05 AM.
• Schedule MAS unattended backups to occur on a daily basis. Do this to ensure that you have a backup of the most recent MAS files.
• If your S3400 contains more than one MAS, schedule each MAS unattended backup to occur at a different time. For example, schedule your first MAS unattended backup to occur 1 hour before midnight and each subsequent MAS to run 15 minutes earlier.
