Backup Programming—Manual (#124)
Description
The backup of system and telephone programming is optional, but recommended,
especially if you are changing the processor module or upgrading the system, or
before and after any major programming changes. This System Programming
procedure manually backs up all the programming (except the system date, day,
and time) to a Backup/Restore PC Card.
NOTE:
If another PC card is in the slot, remove it before performing this procedure.
See the
PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions
for removing and
inserting the card.

■ Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System
Time (#103) are set correctly. These settings are not backed up.
■ You can use Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) if you prefer. If so,
backups are done automatically at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month.
You can also use both methods, performing manual backups between the
scheduled monthly backups.
■ Once the system and telephone programming settings have been backed
up to a PC Card, you can use the Restore Programming (#125)
procedure to restore the settings if they become corrupted. You can also
use Restore Programming (#125) to verify the date on a backup file.
Considerations
■ To perform either manual or automatic backups, purchase a
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. If the PC Card has not
been installed, see the
PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions
.
■ You
must
have a Backup/Restore PC Card in the PC Card slot before a
backup can take place.
■ The same Backup/Restore PC Card can be used for both automatic and
manual backups, since the data is recorded in two separate files. An
automatic backup replaces the AUTO.

file only (where
mmddyy
represents the date of the backup in month, day, year format)
,
and a
manual backup replaces the MAN
.mmddyy
file only. Restore
Programming (#125) asks you to specify which backup file you want to
use.
■ Calls will continue to be handled normally during a manual backup.
