After completing the base load upgrade, create a backup to safeguard your computer system files and CMS data files.

In addition to performing a CMSADM file system backup, ensure that you also perform a complete maintenance backup to back up CMS data, including database tables. For information about performing a maintenance backup in CMS Supervisor, see Administering Avaya Call Management System.
