Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Backing Up System Software
Schedule regular system software backups on both the active and standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitches
to protect critical system data such as configuration files, which are irreplaceable if lost. If a catastrophic
failure occurs, it is easier to restore system information from backup data than to recreate it.
Furthermore, if a failure occurs because the system software is not backed up, you will lose critical
configuration information. Create a backup schedule. Perform small or incremental backups daily, and
a large or complete backup once a week.
Note Back up your system software during periods of low call volume to minimize the effect of the backup
on call processing.
