Creating Backup
Configuration Files
EMS allows you to save the configurations for the IP Telephony Server
and IP Messaging server and create backup configuration files. Use these
files to restore the IP Telephony Server and IP Messaging Server to a
previous set of configurations.
Backup files contain configuration and backup information for all of the
installed applications, as well as server and operating system configuration
information. User profiles, voice mails, and database schemas are not
backed up.
In addition to creating backup configuration files and performing restores,
EMS allows you to recover from a situation where an attempted restore fails.
Creating a Backup
File
You can save the IP Telephony Server configuration to a backup file. After
you have saved the configuration, you can set the backup file as a
baseline so that you can restore it later.
To save the IP Telephony Server configuration:
1 From the Explorer tab, right-click the 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server.
2 From the pop-up menu, select Configuration and then select Backup.
The progress is shown in the Job Progress section of the EMS GUI. When
the command is finished, the Working icon changes to a Finished icon.
3 Click Close.
This file becomes the current, or most recently saved or restored, version.
You can set the current version as the baseline version.

The progress is shown in the Job Progress section of the EMS GUI. When
