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

revisions number	Number of revision files stored in the Cisco Unity Express database.
server url ftp-url	URL to the FTP server where the backup files will be stored.
username ftp-username	User ID needed to access the FTP server.
password ftp-password	Password needed to access the FTP server.

Command Modes

Cisco Unity Express configuration

Command History

Cisco Unity Express Release	Modification
1.0	This command was introduced on the Cisco Unity Express network module and in Cisco CallManager Express 3.0.
1.1	This command was implemented on the advanced integration module (AIM) and in Cisco CallManager 3.3(3).
1.1.2	This command was implemented on the Cisco 2800 series and Cisco 3800 series routers.

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.

Examples

The following example sets 7 revisions on FTP server /branch/vmbackups.

se-10-0-0-0> enable

se-10-0-0-0# config t

se-10-0-0-0(config)# backup revisions 7

se-10-0-0-0(config)# backup server url ftp://branch/vmbackups username admin password

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.
