backup

To set the backup parameters, use the backup command in Cisco UMG configuration mode. To delete the number of revisions or the backup server URL, use the no form of this command.

backup {revisions number | server url backup-ftp-url username backup-ftp-username password backup-ftp-password}

no backup {revisions number | server url backup-ftp-url}

Syntax Description

revisions number

Number of revision files stored in the Cisco UMG database.

server url backup-ftp-url

URL of the FTP server to which the backup files will be saved.

username backup-ftp-username

Username needed to access the FTP server.

password backup-ftp-password

Password needed to access the FTP server.


Command Default

No backup server is set.

Command Modes

Cisco UMG configuration mode (config)

Command History

Cisco UMG Version
Modification

1.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Set these parameters before backing up any files.

Consider the amount of storage space that each backup file requires when setting the number of files to store. When the number is reached, the next backup file overwrites the oldest stored backup file.

The system automatically numbers and dates the backup files and identifies the revision number in a backupid field. Reference this backup ID value when restoring a file.

Performing different backup types at various times causes different backup IDs for data backups and configuration backups. For example, the last data backup ID might be 3 and the last configuration backup might be 4. Performing an all backup might result in a backup ID of 5 for both data and configuration. See the backup category command for information about different backup types.

Examples

The following example sets backups to be stored on an FTP server called "ftpinfrastructure" in the "umgbackups" directory, with the username of "ftpusername" and a password of "ftppassword".

umg-1# config t
umg-1(config)# backup revisions 7
umg-1(config)# backup server url ftp://ftpinfrastructure/umgbackups username ftpusername 
password ftppassword

Usage Guidelines

You can specify multiple categories of data. This command applies to scheduled backups only. To set categories for non-scheduled backups, see the backup category command.

Examples

The following example specifies that only configuration data will be backed up in the scheduled backup:

umg-1# config t

umg-1(config)# backup schedule

Your new JOB ID is 22

umg-1(backup-schedule)# backup categories configuration

Related Commands

Command
Description

backup schedule

Enters backup-schedule submode.

show backup schedule detail job

Shows details for the specified recurring scheduled backup job.


backup category

To specify the type of data to be backed up and initiate the backup process, use the backup category command in Cisco UMG offline-EXEC mode.

backup category { all | configuration | data }

Syntax Description

all

Backup file includes both configuration and data.

configuration

Includes the location ID of the current configuring Cisco UMG, messaging gateway peers, manually provisioned endpoints, registration credentials, and NAT settings.

data

Includes local dynamic endpoints, mailboxes, and System Distribution Lists (SDLs).


Command Default

All data is backed up.

Command Modes

Cisco UMG offline-EXEC (offline)

Command History

Cisco UMG Version
Modification

1.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command indicates the content of the backup file to be saved to the FTP server.


Caution We strongly discourage doing the data only type of backup and restore because of its potential to introduce inconsistency between configuration and data files.

The systems assigns a backup ID to each backup, and it is this backup ID that you must reference when you restore a file. Use the show backup history command to locate the backup ID of the file you want to restore.

Offline mode terminates message forwarding and directory exchange. We recommend backing up at times when there is little or no messaging activity.

Cisco UMG 1.0 does not support scheduled backups. Scheduled backups are supported beginning with Cisco UMG 8.0.

Examples

The following examples illustrate the use of all three of the backup category commands:

umg-1# offline
!!!WARNING!!!: If you are going offline to do a backup, it is recommended that you save 
the current running configuration using the `write' command prior to going to the offline 
state.
Putting the system offline will terminate all end user sessions.
