Chapter 16 Backing Up and Restoring Data
Encrypting and Signing of Backup Content on the Server
Cisco Unity Express 3.1 or later versions, if you configure the same master key before you begin the
restore process. To make it easier to automate a scheduled backup, the master key is stored securely on
the hosting device. It is not included in the backup content.
During the restore process, if the system detects that backup content has been tampered with, the restore
process aborts. The system also halts and waits for the administrator to take some action, such as
restoring using a different revision.
For backward compatibility, you can allow unsigned backup files to be restored if the risk is acceptable.
