About Disaster Recovery System
Caution Do not use the same network location/directory for different backup devices. Backup files for each Unity
Connection server must be stored in a directory dedicated to that server.
Step3 Configure the backup process
After creating the backup device, you can
•Configure a backup schedule using Configuring a Backup Schedule, page2-4, or
•Configure a manual backup using Configuring a Manual Backup, page2-5.
Configuring a Backup Schedule
You can create a different backup schedule for each backup device you created. Backup schedule can be
configured to run the backup at different times. It is recommended to take multiple schedules, each
stored on a different network location.
In most of the cases, you should set a schedule that performs a nightly backup during a defined
maintenance window when there is the least amount of server and network traffic.
You can configure up to ten backup schedules, each has its own backup device, features, and
components.
Note Disabling the schedule allows you to prevent the scheduled backups from running without deleting the
schedule entirely.

Step1 Sign in to Disaster Recovery System and login using the same Administrator username and password
that you use for Cisco Unified Operating System Administration.
Step2 Select Backup> Scheduler. The Schedule List window displays.
Step3 On the Schedule List window, select Add New to create a new backup schedule. The Scheduler wind ow
