Disaster Recovery<br />

An important part of safeguarding your OTM data is having a disaster recovery plan.<br />

This plan should consider who makes the backups, what is backed up, how often, on<br />

what media, and where the backups are stored.<br />

The full OTM backup is a more comprehensive backup option that is designed for<br />

disaster recovery. This option automatically backs up all sites, systems, and<br />

applications, as well as LDAP settings, DBA, the Client list, and Web Navigator data<br />

such as user groups. Custom Help and Alarm Notification registry settings are not<br />

backed up. In addition, the full OTM backup saves user-created files, such as scripts and<br />

customized reports. Consider performing this type of backup at least once a month and<br />

storing the backup file in a safe place.<br />

You should back up the Alarm Notification control and script files separately. The<br />

shipped files may be replaced during a software upgrade.<br />

In the event of unrecoverable data loss, restore your full OTM backup file first. All file<br />

contents are restored to the PC. Then, if you have backups for selected sites, systems,<br />

and applications that are more recent, restore them next.<br />

OTM executables and files that can be reinstalled from the OTM CD are excluded in a<br />

disaster recovery backup. If OTM executables have been damaged or lost due to a<br />

hard-disk crash, for example, you must reinstall OTM on your repaired or replaced PC<br />

before restoring your full OTM backup.<br />

Backing up a single Communication Server 1000 system<br />

A backup of a single Communication Server 1000 system includes the Call Server and<br />

all of its applications, the Gatekeeper Zone (Gatekeeper IP addresses), and Signaling<br />

Server IP address(es). All Media Gateways belonging to the system as well as all<br />

enabled Media Gateway applications are included in the backup. You are not given the<br />

option of selecting the applications that you want to have backed up.<br />

You cannot back up or restore an individual Media Gateway. The Media Gateways are<br />

only backed up and restored as components of the Communication Server 1000 system<br />

to which they belong.<br />

The backup operation backs up OTM data. This backup operation does not back up the<br />

actual Communication Server 1000 system or MG 1000B.<br />
