4. Select the Backup Frequency from the drop-down list.
5. Set the Backup Mode to Full or Incremental.
• Full: Includes all servers in every backup
• Incremental: Includes only the changes to the server data since the most
recent Full backup and merges them with previous backup data. This backup
mode is helpful to speed the duration of each backup by reducing the amount
of transmitted data that to the backup PC during every backup.
6. Click Update to save the backup settings and return to the backup screen.
Backups begin at the Start Time on each day based on the Frequency setting.
Tips about backups:
• After configuring the backup settings, use the Backup Now button to initiate a
backup out of the normal periodic backup period.
• The OfficeSafe application Current Status and Activity Log displays the
progress of the backup process. When the backup is complete, the Current
Status state is Idle and the Activity Log displays “Saving backup completed
successfully.”
• Incremental backups only update an existing backup image. Archiving multiple
backups in a rolling backup history window requires full backups.
16.2 Restore Data Using OfficeSafe 7
Restore the data while the Allworx server is in Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, the
server uses the factory default IP address (192.168.2.254) with DHCP enabled to avoid
IP address conflicts on the network. Allworx recommends unplugging all the LAN
connections and to only plug in the OfficeSafe PC used for configuring the restore.
The Allworx server initiates Restores in Safe Mode and requires connecting the PC
providing the backup to the server’s LAN and running the OfficeSafe application.
To do a restore:
1. Restart the Allworx server into Safe Mode.
Do this via the Admin page of the server or by forcing the system into Safe Mode
via the front panel of the unit. The method used to force entry into Safe Mode via
the front panel varies by product model. Consult the installation or troubleshooting
