Chapter 16 Backing Up and Restoring Data
Backing Up Files
Examples
The following example configures a backup server and displays the show backup output:
se-10-0-0-0# config t
se-10-0-0-0#(config)# backup server url ftp://172.16.0.0/backups username admin password
voice
se-10-0-0-0#(config)# backup revisions 10
se-10-0-0-0#(config)# exit
se-10-0-0-0#
se-10-0-0-0# show backup

User Account on Server: admin
Number of Backups to Retain: 10
se-10-0-0-0#
Backing Up Files
Three types of backup requests are available: data only, configuration only, or all.
• Data—Backs up voice-mail greetings and voice-mail messages.
• Configuration—Backs up system configuration, including recorded names, custom scripts, and
custom prompts. Use the show run command to display the current running configuration.
• All—Backs up all data and configuration information.
Backups are performed only in offline mode.
Cisco Unity Express automatically numbers and dates the backup files and identifies the revision
number in a backupid field.
Performing different backup types at various times causes different backup IDs for data backups and
configuration backups. For example, the last data backup ID might be 3, and the last configuration
backup might be 4. Performing an “all” backup might result in a backup ID of 5 for both data and
configuration.
When restoring the files, refer to the backup ID for the backup file that you want to use. Use the show
backup server command for a list of backup IDs.
Note We recommend that you back up your configuration files whenever changes are made to the system or
application files. Data files, which contain voice messages, should be backed up regularly to minimize
data loss, such as from a hardware failure.
