About Backing Up, Archiving, and Restoring Data Manually

In the Administration Center, you can configure Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence to automatically back up and to archive backup files to a remote location. For information, see "Automatically Backing Up and Archiving Data" in the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence.

If you disable automatic backup, you can manually back up and archive data. Backups have several levels (L0, L1, and L2), and restoring data recreates the database server data from backed-up storage spaces and logical log files. The process of restoring data is the same whether you automatically or manually back up data.
