Appendix B: Restoring Files

Last Updated: July 25, 2006

After the backup files are created, you can restore them when needed. Restoring is done in offline mode, which terminates all voice-mail active calls and does not permit new voice-mail calls (auto attendant calls are permitted). You should consider doing the restore when telephone subscribers are least likely to be on the telephone.

Use the show backup server command to locate the backup ID of the file that you want to restore.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. show backup server
