Chapter 18: Introduction to the Avaya NM
Backup Utility
NM Backup Utility overview
The NM Backup Utility is used to back up multiple configuration files, database and application
data of the Network Management Console, Provisioning and Installation Manager for
Gateways, and Provisioning and Installation Manager for IP Office applications. You can
choose to back up one or more applications as part of a backup job. This wizard helps you to
setup a new backup job or edit an existing one.
You can run the backup job immediately or schedule it to run later. When the backup operation
is complete, the utility creates a compressed archive and a text file with essential information
about the contents of the archive. The text file is only for your convenience and is not needed
during the restore operation. You can choose to store the backup archive on a FTP server or
locally on the Network Management server while setting up the job.
The utility backs up various configuration files and application data which are essential to
restore the Network Management server in case of an unrecoverable error. You need not
recreate all the administered settings when you bring up the Network Management server.
Instead you can restore the information from the backup archive stored on the Network
Management or remote FTP server. If you are installing a Service Pack, it is recommended
that you take a backup before installing the Service Pack.
For Network Management Console, back up includes discovery configurations, Network Map
Definitions, Communication Manager server passwords and licensing information and various
other files. The Network Management Console backup also includes the settings for the Secure
Access Administration, Configuration Backup Restore and Software Update Manager
applications.
The Provisioning and Installation Manager for Gateways, and Provisioning and Installation
Manager for IP Office back up add their configuration files as well. The database back up
includes the Network Management Console, AIM-Admin, PIM and User Admin databases.
Installation specific information such as SSO Configuration files, licensing information, IM
application jobs, environment and binary files (software libraries etc.) are also bundled with
the backup archive.
