IX-VMBAK Hardware Description
The IX-VMBAK circuit card does not require any database programming modification. This card
installs into the DC/DC slot of the same cabinet in which the Omega-Voice VMI IX-4VML is
installed. The IX-VMBAK card is not used with the IX-4EVML card. It can have either an IDE hard
disk drive or removable media zip drive installed or both. Full backup requires an IDE hard disk drive
and a partial backup requires a removable media zip drive. The IX-VMBAK can be used as
maintenance equipment to perform partial backups of customer Omega-Voice VMI IX-4VML data or
it can be installed and left behind to perform periodic full / partial backups of the customer’s data.
Backups, either full or partial, can be executed on demand or on a scheduled basis. The Omega-Voice
VMI System Editor (2.04 or higher) must be used to perform backups, either scheduled or on-demand.
Partial Backup
During a partial backup, recorded mailbox greetings and names along with the Omega-Voice VMI IX-
4VML system’s database are copied to the zip cartridge. Messages are not copied. You cannot
maintain multiple backups on one zip cartridge. You must format the zip cartridge before initial use.
Full Backup
During a full backup the Omega-Voice VMI IX-4VML drive is copied sector for sector to the IX-
VMBAK IDE drive. All recorded data is backed up. You cannot maintain multiple backups on one
IDE drive.
