Creating Backup Configuration Files

19

Creating Backup EMS allows you to save the configurations for the IP Telephony Server Configuration Files and IP Messaging server and create backup configuration files. Use these

files to restore the IP Telephony Server and IP Messaging Server to a previous set of configurations.

Backup files contain configuration and backup information for all of the installed applications, as well as server and operating system configuration information. User profiles, voice mails, and database schemas are not backed up.

In addition to creating backup configuration files and performing restores,

EMS allows you to recover from a situation where an attempted restore fails.
