5In the DMA USB Configuration Utility window, click Copy a Backup to the USB flash drive.

6Select the backup file from which you want to restore the system and click Open.

The utility displays an error message if the file isn’t a valid Polycom RealPresence DMA system backup. Otherwise, it confirms that the backup file is in place.

8In your system tray, click Safely Remove Hardware and select Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device. When a message tells you it’s safe to do so, disconnect the USB memory stick from the PC and take it to the data center housing the Polycom RealPresence DMA system server(s).

9Make sure that the server or servers are turned off. Then insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on one of the servers and turn that server on (but not the other, if there are two).

If this cluster is part of a supercluster, it’s automatically removed from the supercluster. The server boots and the data in the backup file is applied. Typically, this takes about five minutes. Depending on the configuration changes being applied, the server may reboot so the changes can take effect.

10If this is a two-server cluster, after the first server has rebooted (if necessary) and its front-panel LCD displays DMA Ready, turn on the second server.

The second server boots, finds the first server, and syncs to it, thus being restored to the same state. Depending on the configuration changes being applied, it may reboot so the changes can take effect. When done, both servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered.
