G.
Backups include system configuration settings and security certificates.
Explanation:
Backups made on Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) and Cisco VCS Expressway do not
include log files, and the devices do not require a restart after the backup is complete. Backups taken of a VCS
or VCS Expressway contain system configuration settings, clustering configuration settings, security
certificates, and administrator account details. You should create a backup before performing an upgrade or
before performing a system restore.
To create a backup on VCS or VCS Expressway, navigate to Maintenance > Backup and restore by using the
web interface. Enter an encryption password if encryption is desired, and then click Create system backup file.
You will be prompted for a locally accessible file location in which to save the backup. By default, backups are
named by using the following syntax: softwareversion_hardware-version_date_time_backup.tar.gz.
VCS and VCS Expressway backups can be encrypted. Unencrypted backups use the file name extension
.tar.gz by default. Encrypted backups use the file name extension .tar.gz.enc or, if Internet Explorer is
used, .tar.gz.gz by default.
Backups can be made of clustered devices. Backing up any device in the cluster also backs up the
configuration information for the cluster. To restore data to a VCS in a cluster, you must first remove the VCS
from the cluster. After you restore the data to the VCS, you should build a new cluster on that VCS and then
remove the other peers from the cluster and add them to the new cluster.
Although the device does not require a restart after a backup, it does require a restart after restoring a backup.
To restore a backup, navigate to Maintenance > Backup and restore by using the web interface. In the Restore
section, browse to the locally accessible backup file that you want to restore. If the backup file is encrypted,
enter the password in the Decryption password field. After you click Upload system backup file, the device will
determine whether the password is valid and will display the current software version and the number of calls;
on a VCS, it will also display the number of registrations. Click Continue with system restore to begin the
restoration process. After the restoration process is complete, the system will restart. Backups made on one
device can be restored to another device. However, both devices must be running the same version of software
and must have the same option keys installed.Cisco: Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server, Administrator Guide, Software version: X8.1:
