So that as little time as possible is lost before the CC-APs can collect the data, it may be useful to initiate a backup immediately, i.e. outside of the configured schedule.

Do this by selecting a schedule for AP Emergency and clicking Start now.

The first system backup takes the longest, because all saved data (approximately 100 MB) must be transferred to the AP backup server for the first time. The time required is also heavily dependent on the available bandwidth in the IP network between the OpenScape 4000 host system and the AP backup server.
