13.1.2 Configuring Backups on the Allworx

Server

Backups are initiated from the Allworx Server and require a destination PC running the OfficeSafe

application. A backup can be initiated either periodically or immediately. The periodic backup cycles include:

none, daily, semi-weekly, weekly and month.

1. Access Maintenance / Backup / Modify and the above page should appear.

2. Set the Backup Start Time to have the backup performed automatically at the appointed time of the day.

3. Set the IP Address and the TCP/IP Port of the PC running OfficeSafe. These values can be obtained

from the OfficeSafe Current Settings fields.

Note: The IP Address and TCP/IP Port setting must match the OfficeSafe application settings.

4. Select the Backup Frequency. The frequency can be set from every day to once a month. More frequent

updates mean that, in case of a disk failure, you will lose less data when you restore from the last

backup.

5. Set Backup Mode to Full or Incremental.

ο Full: Writes all server data for every backup performed.

ο Incremental: Writes only the changes to the server data and merges with previous backup data. This

backup mode is helpful to speed the duration of each backup if several gigabytes are data are

actually in use on the system being backed up.

6. Click Update to save the backup settings and to return to the OfficeSafe screen. A backup will

commence at the Start Time on each day applicable based on the Frequency setting
