Before upgrading your system, create a backup of the system configuration and application data for each media server. Following is a basic backup procedure that you can use during the upgrade procedures. For more information about backup and restore, see Implementing and Administering Avaya Aura® Media Server.
Navigate to EMToolsBackup and RestoreBackup Tasks.
Create or select an existing backup task which includes System Configuration and Application Content backup types.
Click Run Now.
Monitor the Backup and Restore History Log at EMToolsBackup and RestoreHistory Log.
STEP RESULT:
After the backup is complete, the log shows a completed backup task entry.
Ensure that the backup files are saved to their required FTP location or local default destination.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
There is one file for each backup type for a total of two backup files.
If you are using a local backup destination and want to install a new operating system, you must move the backup files to a safe location. You can find the local backups in:
installpath/ma/MAS/platdata/EAM/Backups
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Important:
If you are re-imaging the disk or replacing the operating system as part of the upgrade, ensure that you transfer the backup files off the server for safe keeping.
