User's Manual

Avaya recommends that you close all the DECT Messenger applications before starting the backup
procedure. In release 2, the file copy procedure is implemented by means of a Windows API-call, as shown
with the code excerpt in Figure 52: File copy example on page 95:

Important:
To ensure a complete and consistent image, you must close all applications before backup. The code
shown in Figure 52: File copy example on page 95 can back up files, even if they are open. Therefore,
you can initiate the eBACKUP while, for instance, eKERNEL is active and the Messenger_CFG.mdb
database is open. Although you can use the eBACKUP to save the open files, Avaya does not guarantee
that the copied file is a complete image or a consistent database image. During activity of eKERNEL,
parts of the Access 2000 database are sometimes in use and transactions are pending. Saving open
files is not officially supported.
