backup
To set the backup parameters, use the backup command in Cisco Unity Express configuration mode. To delete the number of revisions or the backup server URL, use the no form of this command.
backup {revisions number | server url ftp-url username ftp-username password ftp-password}
no backup {revisions number | server url ftp-url}
Syntax Description
Command Modes
Cisco Unity Express configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Set these parameters before backing up any files.
Consider the amount of storage space that each backup file requires when setting the number of files to store. When the number is reached, the next backup file overwrites the oldest stored backup file.
The system automatically numbers and dates the backup files and identifies the revision number in a backupid field. Reference this backup ID value when restoring a file.
Performing different backup types at various times causes different backup IDs for data backups and configuration backups. For example, the last data backup ID might be 3 and the last configuration backup might be 4. Performing an all backup might result in a backup ID of 5 for both data and configuration. See the backup category command for information about different backup types.
For secure FTP, the URL is of the form sftp://...
Examples
The following example sets 7 revisions on FTP server /branch/vmbackups.
se-10-0-0-0> enablese-10-0-0-0# config tse-10-0-0-0(config)# backup revisions 7se-10-0-0-0(config)# backup server url ftp://branch/vmbackups username admin password mainserverThe following example sets 5 revisions on a secure FTP server /vmbackups.

backup category
To specify the type of data to be backed up, use the backup category command in Cisco Unity Express offline mode.
backup category {all | configuration | data}
Syntax Description
all

data
Backs up only voice-mail messages and application data.
Defaults
All data is backed up.
Command Modes
Cisco Unity Express offline
Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command indicates the type of Cisco Unity Express data to be backed up to the FTP server.
When the backup procedure begins, all active calls are terminated. In Release 1.0, Cisco Unity Express does not support scheduled restores. Consider doing the backup procedure when the telephones are least active.
Examples
The following examples illustrate all the backup categories:
se-10-0-0-0> enablese-10-0-0-0# offline!!!WARNING!!!: Putting the system offline will terminate all active calls.Do you wish to continue[n]? : y

backup security key
To create or delete the master key used for encrypting and signing the backup files, use the backup security key command in Cisco Unity Express configuration mode.
backup security key {generate | delete}
Syntax Description
Command Default
No key is configured.
Command Modes
Cisco Unity Express configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the backup security key command in Cisco Unity Express configuration mode to create or delete the master key used for encrypting and signing the backup files. When creating a backup security key, you are prompted to enter the password from which the key will be derived.
This command will not be saved in the startup configuration when you use the write command.
Examples
The following example creates a master key:
se-10-0-0-0# config tse-10-0-0-0(config)# backup security key generate
Please enter the password from which the key will be derived: ******
The following example deletes a master key:
se-10-0-0-0# config tse-10-0-0-0(config)# backup security key delete
You have a key with magic string cfbdbbee
Do you want to delete it [y/n]?:

This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
This command has no default value.
