11.3.1.2. Creating a Schedule for the Backup Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

In the second configuration step, you must now define when OpenScape 4000 Assistant Backup & Restore should carry out a backup on the configured AP backup server. Typically, a backup is performed daily at a time when there is not much activity.
When you select a start time for the backup, keep in mind that this also indirectly defines the start time for the restore on the CC-APs. The restore on the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate starts as soon as the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate detects availability of new completed backup. Dependencies are shown in the section “Section 3.1, “Basic conditions regarding timing”“.
Prerequisite:
  • Logged on to the OpenScape 4000 Assistant via a Web browser under the ID “rsta“.
  • Software Management -> Backup & Restore has been started.
  • In the OpenScape 4000 Assistant Backup & Restore user interface, select the function Schedule.
