What is the Disaster Recovery System?
The Disaster Recovery System (DRS), which can be invoked from Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0 Administration, provides full data backup and restore capabilities for all servers in a Cisco Unified CallManager cluster. The Disaster Recovery System allows you to perform regularly scheduled automatic or user-invoked data backups. DRS supports only one backup schedule.
The Cisco Disaster Recovery System performs a cluster-level backup, which means that it collects backups for all servers in a Cisco Unified CallManager cluster to a central location and archives the backup data to physical storage device.
When performing a system data restoration, you can choose which nodes in the cluster you want to restore.
The Disaster Recovery System includes the following capabilities:
•A user interface for performing backup and restore tasks.
•A distributed system architecture for performing backup and restore functions.
•Scheduled backups.
•Archive backups to a physical tape drive or remote sftp server.
The Disaster Recovery System contains two key functions, Master Agent (MA) and Local Agent (LA). The Master Agent coordinates backup and restore activity with all the Local Agents.
The system automatically activates both the Master Agent and the Local Agent on all nodes in the cluster.
Note The Disaster Recovery System does not migrate data from Windows to Linux or from Linux to Linux. A restore must run on the same product version as the backup. For information on data migration from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform, refer to the Data Migration Assistant User Guide.
Quick-Reference Tables for Backup and Restore Procedures
The following tables provide a quick reference for the backup and restore procedures.
Backup Quick Reference

System Requirements
Make sure that Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0 is running on all servers in the cluster.
How to Access the Disaster Recovery System
To access the Disaster Recovery System, choose Disaster Recover System from the Navigation menu in the upper, right corner of Cisco Unified CallManager Administration window. Log in to the Disaster Recovery System by using the same Administrator username and password that you use for Platform Administration.
Note You set the Administrator username and password during Cisco Unified CallManager installation, and you can change the Administrator password or set up a new Administrator account by using the Command Line Interface (CLI). Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide for more information.
Master Agent Duties and Activation
The system automatically activates the Master Agent on all nodes in the cluster, but only the Master Agent running on the publisher server is fully active.
Duties That the Master Agent Performs
The Master Agent (MA) performs the following duties:
•The MA stores systemwide component registration information.
•The MA maintains a complete set of scheduled tasks in the Cisco Unified CallManager database. When it receives updates from the user interface, the MA sends executable tasks to the applicable Local Agents, as scheduled. (Local Agents execute immediate-backup tasks without delay.)
•You access the MA through the Disaster Recovery System user interface to perform activities such as scheduling backups, adding a new backup task for a specific server or a defined cluster, updating or reviewing an existing entry, displaying status of executed tasks, and performing system restoration.
•The MA stores backup sets on a locally attached tape drive or a remote network location.
Local Agents
Each server in a Cisco Unified CallManager cluster, including the server that contains the Master Agent, must have its own Local Agent to perform backup and restore functions for its server.
Note By default, a Local Agent automatically gets activated on each node of the cluster.
Duties That Local Agents Perform
The Local Agent runs backup and restore scripts on each node in the cluster.
Configuring Features to Back Up

Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.
Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website
The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
Note Use the Cisco Product Identification Tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a request for service online or by phone. You can access this tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link, clicking the All Tools (A-Z) tab, and then choosing Cisco Product Identification Tool from the alphabetical list. This tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or, for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.
Tip Displaying and Searching on Cisco.com
If you suspect that the browser is not refreshing a web page, force the browser to update the web page by holding down the Ctrl key while pressing F5.
To find technical information, narrow your search to look in technical documentation, not the entire Cisco.com website. On the Cisco.com home page, click the Advanced Search link under the Search box and then click the Technical Support & Documentation radio button.
To provide feedback about the Cisco.com website or a particular technical document, click Contacts & Feedback at the top of any Cisco.com web page.
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411
Australia: 1 800 805 227
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
