Backup strategy
Use the information that follows to develop a backup strategy
appropriate to your call center.
Kinds of backups
•
CMSADM: backs up Solaris system files and programs,
CentreVu
CMS programs, non-CMS data
•
Maintenance: backs up
CentreVu
CMS database tables, including
historical data, Dictionary data, and permissions data;
maintenance backups can be full, incremental, or complex
•
Caution
: running a CMSADM backup alone does not save data;
you must follow the CMSADM backup with a full maintenance
backup.
Frequency of backups
Base the frequency of your backups on the
amount of data your call center is willing to lose in case of catastrophic
failure. In addition:
•
Back up the
CentreVu
CMS historical data for each ACD after
CentreVu
CMS is first installed and tested.
•
Back up system data weekly or when it has changed.
Managing the tapes
Supply, secure storage, and labeling are key to
ensuring that if you need to restore data, you can do it quickly and
accurately.
•
Keep enough tapes on hand to rotate them so that several tapes are
available at all times. For example, if you do daily backups, keep
seven tapes in stock and recycle them weekly (use a new tape for
each day of the week and repeat each weekly sequence.)
•
Store tapes in a safe, secure area.
