10262090001 Revision B D–2 Updating software; backing up databases
To safeguard system data, create regular backups of all databases
created and maintained by the AIReach Office software.
Databases may be restored to the Controller hard disk, if
necessary.
All AROS software applications are stopped during backup or
restore operations. Any calls in progress are dropped, and no
new calls can be made until the Controller restarts. Therefore,
backup and restore operations should be done when there are
no users on the network, and users should be informed that
the system will be down.
To backup the AIReach OS databases to a writable CD:
1. Close the AIReach OS banner window.
2. Load a formatted RW CD into the CD–ROM drive.
(If the CD is unformatted, format it before loading it. )
3. Enter these commands from a DOS prompt:
cd %omc_root_dir%\tools
backup
<CD–ROM drive letter>
A db_log.LOG file opens.
4. When you see “Export terminated successfully without
warning” at the bottom of the log, close the file.
If you do not see this message, contact HNS TAC for
assistance.
Starting the software after backup
To start the AROS software after backup, follow these steps:
1. Select Start Settings Control Panel.
2. Double–click on Services.
3. Select WOS LOAD/Monitor and press Start.
4. Wait for all processes to start.
(For a list of the processes, see the taskbar illustration on
page 3–6, step 4.)
5. After all processes have started, you can open the AIReach
OS banner window. (Double–click on the AROS
Configuration icon and log in.)
