What is the Disaster Recovery System?
The Disaster Recovery System (DRS), which can be invoked from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, provides full data backup and restore capabilities. The Disaster Recovery System allows you to perform regularly scheduled automatic or user-invoked data backups.
DRS restores its own settings (backup device settings and schedule settings) as part of the platform backup/restore. DRS backs up and restores drfDevice.xml and drfSchedule.xml files. When the server is restored with these files, you do not need to reconfigure DRS backup device and schedule.
Caution Before you restore
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000, ensure that the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 version that is installed on the server matches the version of the backup file that you want to restore. The
Disaster Recovery System supports only matching versions of
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 for restore. For example, the
Disaster Recovery System does not allow a restore from version 6.1.(
1).1000-1 to version 6.1(
2).1000-1, or from version 6.1.(2).1000-
1 to version 6.1(2).1000-
2.
Caution Before you restore
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000, ensure that the hostname, IP address, version, and deployment type of the restore matches the hostname, IP address, version, and deployment type of the backup file that 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 Local Agents.
Caution DRS encryption depends on the cluster security password. If you change this security password through the Command Line Interface or a fresh install, then it is recommended that you take a fresh backup immediately or remember the old security password.
Note The Disaster Recovery Systemuses an SSL-based communication between the Master Agent and the Local Agent for authentication and encryption of data. DRS makes use of the IPSec certificates for its Public/Private Key encryption. Be aware that if you delete the IPSEC truststore(hostname.pem) file from the Certificate Management pages, then DRS will not work as expected. If you delete the IPSEC-trust file manually, then you must ensure that you upload the IPSEC certificate to the IPSEC-trust.
Caution Schedule backups during off-peak hours to avoid call-processing interruptions and impact to service.
Caution When you restore your data, the hostname, server IP address, and the deployment type must be the same as it was during the backup. DRS does not restore across different hostnames, IP addresses and deployment types.
Quick-Reference Tables for Backup and Restore Procedures
The following tables provide a quick reference for the backup and restore procedures.
Note DRS backs up and restores the drfDevice.xml and drfSchedule.xml files. These backup device settings and schedule settings get restored as a part of the platform backup/restore. After the server is restored with these files, you do not need to reconfigure DRS backup device and schedule.
Backup Quick Reference
Table 1 provides a quick, high-level reference to the major steps, in chronological order, that you must perform to do a backup procedure by using the Disaster Recovery System.
Restore Quick Reference
Table 2 provides a quick, high-level reference to the major steps, in chronological order, that you must perform to do a restore procedure by using the Disaster Recovery System.
System Requirements
To back up data to a remote device on the network, you must have an SFTP server that is configured. Cisco allows you to use any SFTP server product but recommends SFTP products that have been certified with Cisco through the Cisco Technology Developer Partner program (CTDP). CTDP partners, such as GlobalSCAPE, certify their products with specified version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unity Connection. For information on which vendors have certified their products with your version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unity Connection, refer to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/ctdp/Search.pl
Cisco uses the following servers for internal testing. You may use one of the servers, but you must contact the vendor for support:
•Open SSH (refer to http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/)
•Cygwin (refer to http://www.cygwin.com/)
•Titan (refer to http://www.titanftp.com/)
Cisco does not support using the SFTP product freeFTDP. This is because of the 1 GB file size limit on this SFTP product.
Note For issues with third-party products that have not been certified through the CTDP process, contact the third-party vendor for support
Note While a backup or restore is running, you cannot perform any OS Administration tasks because Disaster Recovery System blocks all OS Administration requests by locking the platform API. However, this does not block most CLI commands as only the CLI-based upgrade commands use the Platform API locking package.
Tip Schedule backups during periods when you expect less network traffic.
Note Be aware that if you migrate to an HP DL380-G6 server (software-only), you will not be able to install older versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (5.x and 6.x) on the new server. Therefore, to be able to run a DRS backup, you must install the older version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager on your old publisher (which may no longer be supported). Once this backup has been completed, you will be able to restore it on your HP DL380-G6 (software-only) publisher.
How to Access the Disaster Recovery System
To access the Disaster Recovery System, choose Disaster Recovery System from the Navigation drop-down list box in the upper, right corner of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration window. Log in to the Disaster Recovery System by using the same Administrator username and password that you use for Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.
Note You set the Administrator username and password during Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 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 Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unifed Communications Solutions for more information.
Master Agent Duties and Activation
The system automatically activates the Master Agent (MA) on the server.
Duties That the Master Agent Performs
The Master Agent (MA) performs the following duties:
•The MA stores system-wide component registration information.
•The MA maintains a complete set of scheduled tasks in an XML file. The MA updates this file when it receives updates of schedules 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 configuring backup devices, scheduling backups by adding new backup schedules, viewing or updating an existing schedule, displaying status of executed schedules, and performing system restoration.
•The MA stores backup data on a locally attached tape drive or a remote network location.
Local Agents
The server has a Local Agent to perform backup and restore functions.
Duties That Local Agents Perform
The Local Agent runs backup and restore scripts on the server.
Note The Disaster Recovery Systemuses an SSL-based communication between the Master Agent and the Local Agent for authentication and encryption of data. DRS makes use of the IPSec certificates for its Public/Private Key encryption. This certificate exchange gets handled internally. You do not need to make any configuration changes to accommodate this exchange.
Managing Backup Devices
Before using the Disaster Recovery System, you must configure the locations where you want the backup files to be stored. You can configure up to 10 backup devices. Perform the following steps to configure backup devices.
Note You can add, delete, and list devices through the Command Line Interface. For more information on CLI commands for DRS, refer to the "Command Line Interface" section.
Procedure
Step 1 Navigate to the Disaster Recovery System. Log in to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Disaster Recovery System from the Navigation menu in the upper, right corner of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration window, and click Go.
The Disaster Recovery System Logon window displays.
Step 2 Log in to the Disaster Recovery System by using the same Administrator username and password that you use for Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.
Step 3 Navigate to Backup > Backup Device. The Backup Device List window displays.
Step 4 To configure a new backup device, click Add New.
Step 5 To edit a backup device, select it in the Backup Device list. Then, click Edit Selected.
The Backup Device window displays.
Step 6 Enter the backup device name in the Backup device name field.
Note The backup device name may contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces ( ), dashes (-) and underscores (_). Do not use any other characters.
Step 7 Choose one of the following backup devices and enter the appropriate field values in the Select Destination area:
•Tape Device—Stores the backup file on a locally attached tape drive. Choose the appropriate tape device from the list. Note the following considerations:
–You cannot use more than one tape for a single backup. If you have more data than will fit on a tape, either you must store backups on a network directory, or you must back up components on one tape and back up mailbox stores on one or more additional tapes.
–You cannot store more than one backup on a tape; each backup overwrites the data from the previous backup, so you only have the data from the most recent backup. If you want to create more than one backup for a server (components in one backup, mailbox stores in another backup, for example), you must use separate tapes. Otherwise, you will only have the portion of the data that you backed up last.
Note Be aware that if you are logged in through a VMware virtual machine, you cannot back up on a tape. This is because the tape device option is disabled for VMware users.
•Network Directory—Stores the backup file on a network drive that is accessed through an SFTP connection. Enter the following required information:
–Server name: Name or IP address of the network server
–Path name: Path name for the directory where you want to store the backup file
–User name: Valid username for an account on the remote system
–Password: Valid password for the account on the remote system
–Number of backups to store on Network Directory: The number of backups to store on this network directory.
Note You must have access to an SFTP server to configure a network storage location. The SFTP path must exist prior to the backup. The account that is used to access the SFTP server must have write permission for the selected path.
Step 8 To update these settings, click Save.
Note After you click the Save button, the DRS Master Agent validates the selected backup device. If the user name, password, server name, or directory path is invalid, the save will fail.
Step 9 To delete a backup device, select it in the Backup Device list. Then, click Delete Selected.
Note You cannot delete a backup device that is configured as the backup device in a backup schedule.
Creating and Editing Backup Schedules
You can create up to 10 backup schedules. Each backup schedule has its own set of properties, including a schedule for automatic backups, the set of features to back up, and a storage location.
Note You can list and add backup schedules through the Command Line Interface. For more information on CLI commands for DRS, refer to the "Command Line Interface" section.
Note Be aware that your backup .tar files are encrypted by a randomly generated password. This password is then encrypted by using the cluster security password and gets saved along with the backup .tar files. You must remember this security password or take a backup immediately after the security password change/reset.
Perform the following steps to manage backup schedules:
Procedure
Step 1 Navigate to the Disaster Recovery System. Log in to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Disaster Recovery System from the Navigation menu in the upper, right corner of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration window, and click Go.

You must back up Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the Cisco Unity Connection database and voice names. Be aware that backing up Cisco Unity Connection messages is optional.
Step 8 Choose the date and time when you want the backup to begin in the Start Backup at area. Note the following:
•Schedule backups during off-peak hours to avoid affecting system performance.
•Do not schedule a backup to run while the Update Database Statistics task is running. By default, this task runs daily at 3:30 am.
Step 9 Choose the frequency at which you want the backup to occur in the Frequency area: Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. If you choose Weekly, you can also choose the days of the week when the backup will occur.
Tip To set the backup frequency to Weekly, occurring Tuesday through Saturday, click Set Default.
Step 10 To update these settings, click Save.
Step 11 To enable the schedule, click Enable Schedule.
The next backup occurs automatically at the time that you set.
Step 12 To disable the schedule, click Disable Schedule.
Enabling, Disabling, and Deleting Schedules

Checking Backup Status
You can check the status of the current backup job and cancel the current backup job. To view the backup history, see the "Viewing the Backup and Restore History" section.
Caution Be aware that if the backup to the remote server is not completed within 20 hours, the backup session will time out. You will then need to begin a fresh backup.
Checking the Status of the Current Backup Job
Perform the following steps to check the status of the current backup job.
Procedure
Step 1 Navigate to the Disaster Recovery System. Log in to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Disaster Recovery System from the Navigation menu in the upper, right corner of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration window, and click Go.
The Disaster Recovery System Logon window displays.
Step 2 Log in to the Disaster Recovery System by using the same Administrator username and password that you use for Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.
Step 3 Navigate to Backup > Current Status. The Backup Status window displays.
Step 4 To view the backup log file, click the log filename link.
Step 5 To cancel the current backup, click Cancel Backup.
Note The backup cancels after the current component completes its backup operation.
Restoring a Node
Caution Be aware that DRS encryption depends on the cluster security password. If you have changed the security password between the backup and this restore, DRS will ask for the old security password. Therefore, to use such old backups, you must remember the old security password or take a backup immediately after the security password change/reset.
Caution Do not make any configuration changes to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 during a restore. Configuration changes include any changes that you make in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration,
Cisco Unified Serviceability, and the User Option windows.
Do not perform any configuration tasks until you have verified that database replication is functioning.
Note When you perform a DRS restore to migrate data to a new server, you must assign the new server the identical IP address and host name that the old server used.
For more information about replacing a server, refer to the Replacing a Single Server or Cluster for Cisco Unified Communications Manager guide.
Caution Before you restore
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000, ensure that the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 version that is installed on the server matches the version of the backup file that you want to restore. The
Disaster Recovery System supports only matching versions of
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 for restore. For example, the
Disaster Recovery System does not allow a restore from version 7.0(
1).1000-1 to version 7.1(
2).1000-1, or from version 7.1(2).1000-
1 to version 7.1(2).1000-
2. (The last parts of the version number change when you install a service release or an engineering special.) In essence, the product version needs to match, end-to-end, for the
Disaster Recovery System to run a successful
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 database restore.
Disaster Recovery System adheres to strict version checking and allows restore only between matching versions of
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000.
Caution Before you restore
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000, ensure that the hostname, IP address, and deployment type of the restore matches the hostname, IP address and deployment type of the backup file that you want to restore. DRS does not restore across different hostnames, IP addresses and deployment types.
The Restore Wizard walks you through the steps that are required to restore a backup file. To perform a restore, use the procedure that follows.
Procedure
Step 1 If you reinstalled software on the server or installed software on a new server, do the following steps, as applicable:
a. Confirm that the IP address and host name of the server match the IP address and host name when the server was backed up. Otherwise, the restore will fail.
b. Reinstall the licenses that were originally installed on the server or, if you replaced the server with a server that has a different MAC address, install replacement licenses that include the new MAC address.
c. If any Connection languages were previously installed, reinstall the same languages.
Step 2 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, in the Navigation list, click Disaster Recovery System, and click Go.
The Disaster Recovery System Logon window displays.
Step 3 Log in to the Disaster Recovery System by using the same Administrator username and password that you use for Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.
Step 4 Navigate to Restore > Restore Wizard. The Restore Wizard Step 1 window displays.
Step 5 Choose the backup device from which to restore in the Select Backup Device area. Then, click Next.
The Restore Wizard Step 2 window displays.
Step 6 Choose the backup file that you want to restore.
Note The backup filename indicates the date and time that the system created the backup file.
Step 7 Click Next. The Restore Wizard Step 3 window displays.
Step 8 Choose the features that you want to restore.
Note Only the features that were backed up to the file that you chose display.
Step 9 Click Next. The Restore Wizard Step 4 window displays.
Step 10 Select the Perform file integrity check using SHA1 Message Digest checkbox if you want to run a file integrity check.
Note The file integrity check is optional and is only required in the case of SFTP backups. You do not need to run a file integrity check when restoring from tape and local device backups.
Note Be aware that the file integrity check process consumes a significant amount of CPU and network bandwidth, which considerably slows down the restore process.
Step 11 When you are prompted to choose the node to restore, choose the same features that you selected in Step 8, and click Next.
Caution Existing data for the selected features is overwritten.
Step 12 To start restoring the data, click Restore.
Note If you selected the Perform file integrity check using SHA1 Message Digest checkbox in Step 10, DRS runs a file integrity check on each file when you click Restore. If the system finds discrepancies in any .tar file during the check, the restore process will ERROR out the component that failed the integrity check and move to restore the next .tar file (that is, the next component).
Step 13 To view the status of the restore, see the "Viewing the Restore Status" section.
Step 14 Restart the server. For more information on restarting, see the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.
Step 15 During off-peak hours, re-synchronize message-waiting indicators for each phone system:
a. In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, and click Phone System.
b. Click the name of the first phone system.
c. For Synchronize All MWIs on This Phone System, click Run.
d. Repeat Step a. through Step c. for the remaining phone systems.
