Maintaining IS-III
Backing Up the Entire System to Tape
When you back up the entire system to tape, the system stores the following files on
tape cartridges:
■
■
■
■
UNIX files
administrative files for each application
all voice system files (if AUDIX Voice Power is installed). These files include
all voice mailbox messages, system greetings, and personal greetings.
all fax messages (if FAX Attendant is installed). These files include Fax
Response files.
NOTE:
Prior to performing a complete system backup to tape of IS-III, back up switch
programming to the hard disk (via SPM). Backing up the switch programming
to hard disk before performing a complete system backup to tape insures that
you have a backup of the switch programming on tape. Your backup tape will
contain all the IS-III information and the switch programming. See the AT&T
MERLIN LEGEND™ Communications System Release 2.0 System
Programming document (Document No. 555-620-111) for SPM backup
procedures.
You should perform this procedure only when there is little or no traffic on the switch.
Have two to four blank tapes to perform this backup.
To back up your entire system to tape, perform the following steps:
1. At the Backup Files Menu, move the cursor to Complete System Backup
to Tape and press [ ENTER
↵ ].
The system displays the following message:
