Restoring Files
After the backup files are created, you can restore them when needed. Restoring is done in offline mode. Active calls, IMAP, and VoiceView sessions are terminated, and no new calls are accepted (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 to restore.

If you are using Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications, and you need to restore Cisco Unity Express 10.0 backup on a new Cisco Unity Express 10.1, perform the following steps:
If you are not using IVR, you do not need to register the product instance again. |
For more detailed information about restoring files, see Cisco Unity Express Voice-Mail and Auto-Attendant CLI Administrator Guide and the GUI online help.
