'Backup & Restore' System Preferences

Last Updated : Mar 20, 2024 |

This tab can be to make, schedule and restore backups of the voicemail server. These are legacy functions used mainly with old Windows-based voicemail servers (see Client Backup and Restore).

For current voicemail servers, it is recommended that the backup and restore functions available through the server's web management menus are used instead (see Backup and restore using Web Manager).
