The backup and restore features provide the ability to create and restore snapshots of the EMS and configured SBC devices. Backup information is stored in a user-defined location, on the local EMS server or a configured remote server. The location must be secure and physically separate from the SBC equipment chassis to ensure later retrieval or restoration.
When you perform a backup on the EMS, the following components are backed up:
Primary EMS configuration data
Secondary EMS configuration data, if deployed
Configuration data for all deployed SBC devices
Certificates installed in the deployment
When you perform a backup on an SBC device, the following components are backed up:
Configuration data of that SBC device
Certificates installed in the deployment
Note:
You can do a system backup anytime and it does not require a maintenance window. However, try to schedule backups during a no-traffic or low-traffic time of day.
For EMS, you can take a configuration backup manually and restore it as needed. You can also configure automatic snapshots for EMS.
For SBC devices, you can only take a backup manually. You can back up and restore the functional SBC devices.
To download the snapshot, you can use the download link provided in the Snapshot tab.
