The System Backup/Restore applet does not back up the following items:
• Network Adapters and Settings, including host name/machine name and TCP/IP domain.
• Password Administration settings (Wave account user names and passwords).
• Wave licensing information
• Date and Time settings
• RAID settings (Windows Disk Management)
• Windows Workgroup or Network Domain settings
Wave automatically backs up the system configuration database file every night at 2:00 AM to
help you recover from situations where the database might be corrupted. Every time Wave
restarts, the startup procedure checks the database for problems, and it is repaired or replaced
with the backup if necessary.
Since the backup and restore procedure uses FTP, the client PC doing the backup must have an
FTP program installed.
Note the following:
• Depending upon the number and size of your voicemail messages, the backup and restore
procedure could each take up to 2 hours. For that reason, schedule backups during
off-peak hours.
• Compression takes place only after a temporary full backup of the raw files has been
created, so be sure that your Wave Server’s hard drive has enough space (up to 2 GB) to
accommodate the temporary backup files.
• You can only restore from a backup of a system of the same version number as your
current system.
