11.3.2.1. Configuring the AP Backup Server on the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape
4000 SoftGate 
For the automatic restore of the saved data, you must stipulate where
the OpenScape 4000 backup data should be retrieved. This requires that
you set up the computer, directory and login data exactly as they were
for the AP backup server on the OpenScape 4000 host system (see Section 3.1.1,
“Configuring an AP Backup Server with OpenScape 4000 Assistant Backup & Restore”).
- In the Backup & Restore user interface, select the function AP Backup Server under Administration.
You must now complete the following fields with the same settings as the
OpenScape 4000 host system:
- Protocol (SFTP or NFS) - typically: SFTP
- IP Address or Host Name of the AP backup server.
- Directories on the AP backup server.
- If you selected SFTP as the protocol, you still need to configure the Login name and the Password for accessing the AP backup server (SFTP server). If the SFTP server requires an Account, this also needs to be entered.
IMPORTANT:
If you want to use as backup directory /.AS/BACKUP/IPDA
for security reasons you should use as ftp login „apeftp“.
- By activating Automatic restore disabled, you can deactivate the restore process. Activate this switch only temporarily and never forget to deactivate the switch for routine operation.
Complete the AP backup server configuration with:
- Save and test - Save the configuration and test the access to the AP backup
server.
This option tests whether the installation works, i.e.:
-
Whether the connection to the AP backup server can be established.
-
Login with the configured data is possible.
-
Access to the configured directory is possible.
-
- Test - Test the configuration without saving it. Input will revert after the
test.
Use this option only for diagnostic purpose, when do not want to clear a previously saved setting.
Access to the AP backup server has now been configured. The OpenScape 4000 Assistant
Backup
& Restore application on the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate will now immediately
start to contact the AP backup server every 10 minutes, check whether a new, completed
backup
set is available, and download and activate the modified sections of the backup set.
IMPORTANT:
Before the first restore, OpenScape 4000 Assistant Backup & Restore
performs a complete backup on the hard disk. This backup is used as a reference for
determining
modified files that must be retrieved from the AP backup server when the system is
restored. You
do have to initiate the backup manually. In addition, you cannot prevent it. This
procedure
takes approximately one hour.
The time required for the restore procedure depends heavily on the amount of data
to be
transferred and the transmission bandwidth available between the AP backup server
and the
CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate. The procedure takes at least a half hour.
