Backing Up the System			6

Use this procedure to make a copy of your customized system data. You should create a backup after each system upgrade, service technician visit, or major system reconfiguration.

The backup does not copy any application data. For information about application backup, see the documentation for the application.

The backup is performed using the Translation memory card (white label).

For information about the Restore procedure, see Chapter 4, “Advanced

Programming Procedures,” in System Programming.

Planning Guidelines

6

While the backup is in progress, you cannot access any programming functions.

If any type of programming is taking place at another extension when you begin the backup procedure, the backup is canceled and the number of the first busy extension appears on the screen. Attempt the backup procedure again when the busy extension becomes idle.

NOTE:

By default, the system is set to perform a backup automatically once a week. You can change this to daily backups or to manual backups. For more information, see “Automatic Backup” in the “Memory Card” section in Chapter 3 of System Programming.

Default filenames in manual backups are automatically dated using the MMDD c nvention with no slashes.

Task List:oBacking Up the System

If necessary, read “Memory Card” in Chapter 3 of System Programming for detailed information about this feature, including how to insert the memory card into the PCMCIA interface slot on the processor module and descriptions of the backup files.
