Recovery, Hardware Migration, and Backup/Restore
The following topics are described in this section:
• Backup/Restore, page 3-26
• Platform Monitoring, page 3-27
Backup/Restore
Cisco provides the following backup/restore utilities:
• Cisco Unified CM Release 4.x uses the Backup and Restore System (BARS) application
• Cisco Unified CM Release 5.x uses the Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF)
• Cisco Unified CM Release 6.x uses the Disaster Recovery System (DRS), essentially a renaming of
DRF above
These tools support writing backup files to (or reading restore files from) a local tape drive, or a file on
a network location. BARS uses Windows shares and DRF/DRS use SFTP to access the network
location. If a third-party backup solution is desired, BARS/DRF/DRS can write to a network location
for the third-party backup solution to pick up.
DRF/DRS perform a cluster-wide backup, meaning data from all nodes is backed up, but restores are
only to the node (s) that need it.
