Automatic Backup 3
To preserve the most recent copy of your customized system data, you can
program the system to automatically backup programming information onto the
translation memory card. Automatic backups may be set for daily or weekly
operation. If automatic backup is activated, the time may be set for daily backup
(factory setting is 2:00 am) or the time and day may be set for weekly backup
(factory setting is 2:00 am Sunday).
The system places the automatic backup into one of two designated files:
and . If both files are empty, the system places the backup
in If both files already contain backups, the system selects the older
of the two files and overwrites it. The system performs this file “toggle” each time it
performs an automatic backup.
While the backup is in progress, you cannot access system programming
functions, your Personal Directory, or alarm clock functions (any programmed
alarms are temporarily deactivated).
If any type of programming is taking place at an extension during the automatic
backup procedure, the backup is canceled. The system does not re-attempt the
backup.
If an automatic backup fails for any reason (including a system-busy condition), all
of the programmed alarm buttons on system operator consoles light and the
information is recorded in both the permanent error log and the last 10 error logs.
The system does not re-attempt the backup.
Also see “Backup Messages” on page –290 for information about errors that may
occur during the automatic backup procedure.
