Modular Messaging allows you to back up critical MAS and MSS data.
You can use the backed-up data to restore data to the servers if
a system failure occurs.
Two types of backups are supported for the MAS and MSS:
- Unattended backup: The unattended backup automatically
saves critical Message Storage Server (MSS) and Messaging Application
Server (MAS) data. The MAS unattended backup is usually scheduled
to run one hour before midnight, but you can reschedule
it. The MAS performs the unattended backup using the private
LAN to copy data from the MAS to the MSS. After the MAS data are
copied to the MSS, the files are then backed up again along with
critical MSS system files. The MSS unattended backup automatically
occurs every morning at 3:05 AM. The approximate time an unattended
backup takes depends on a number of factors, including whether
you are backing up using the LAN or the DVD-RAM drive on the MSS
and the amount of subscriber and system data.
- Attended backup: The attended backup allows
you to complete a full system backup of Message Storage Server
(MSS) and Messaging Application Server (MAS) data at any time.
It is recommended that you perform a full attended backup if your
system is unable to complete a full unattended
backup, which could happen if your system contains a large
amount of subscriber data. You should also perform an attended
backup whenever you make extensive changes to subscriber profiles,
after additional subscriber names have been recorded, or if you
make other customized data changes, such as recording custom prompts.
