NM Easy Restore Utility
Issue 1 June 2010 21
The utility backs up various configuration files and application data which are essential to
restore the NM server in case of an unrecoverable error. You need not recreate all the
administered settings when you bring up the NM server. Instead you can restore the information
from the backup archive stored on the NM or remote FTP server. Also, if you are installing a
Service Pack, it is recommended that you take a backup before installing the Service Pack.
For NMC, back up includes discovery configurations, Network Map Definitions, CM Server
passwords and licensing information and various other files. The NMC backup also includes the
settings for the Secure Access Administration, Configuration Backup Restore and Software
Update Manager applications.
PIM for Gateways and PIM 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) are also bundled with the
backup archive.
For information on the NM Backup Utility, see Avaya Integrated Management Release 6.0
Network Management Console User Guide.
