Backup Programming—Manual (#124)
Description
The backup of system and telephone programming is optional, but recommended,
especially if you are changing the processor module or upgrading the s ystem, or
before and after any major programming changes. This System Progr amming
procedure manually backs up all the programming (except the system da te, day,
and time) to a Backup/Restore PC Card.
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS
to Release 3.0.

■Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System
Time (#103) are set correctly. These settings are not backed up.
■You can use Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) if you prefer. If so,
backups are done automatically at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month.
You can also use both methods, performing manual backups between the
scheduled monthly backups.
■Once the system and telephone programming settings have been backed
up to a PC Card, you can use the Restore Programming (#125)
procedure to restore the settings if they become corrupted. You can also
use Restore Programming (#125) to verify the date on a backup file.
Considerations
■To perform either manual or automatic backups, purchase a
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. If the PC Card has not
been installed, see
PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions
.
■You
must
have a Backup/Restore PC Card in the PC Card slot before a
backup can take place. It is recommended that you leave the
Backup/Restore PC Card in PC Card Slot 2.
■Slot 2 is recommended for the Backup/Restore PC Card; however, either
slot can be used. If the system detects Backup/Restore PC Cards in
both
slots when a backup begins,
the first slot is used and the second is ignored
