Restoring Files

If the hard disk crashes or your disk data becomes corrupted, you must restore all or part of your system. YOU can restore only what you have previously backed up. It is therefore wise to back up the administrative and voice files according to the instructions given in the section Backing Up and Restoring Files in the AT&T AUDIX™ Voice Power System Manager's Guide.

If you are recovering from a hard disk failure or data corruption, follow these steps:

1.Reinstall the UNIX operating system and all software application files as described in Chapter 3, Software Installation.

2.The voice system starts automatically when the system is rebooted.

3.Restore all AUDIX Voice Power files containing administrative information using the Restoring Administrative Files procedure later in this chapter.

4.Restore all talk files and phrases using the Restoring Speech Files procedure later in this chapter.
