Before we can perform a backup, we must have a device we can back up to. This can be a tape drive or a network share running SFTP.
We must have the backup device already configured and ready to go. For network devices, ensure we have the username and password as well as the path where the backup will be stored.
To configure the Unified Communications Manager for backups, perform the following:
Navigate to the disaster recovery system (
