6.2.6 IMX MAT File Operations
The IMX MAT creates three types of files; Command Log files, Office Data Backup files, and List-up Command
Report data tables. Command Log files and List-up Command Report data tables are the only files a user needs to
view. The Office Data Backup files are used strictly for saving and storing the PBX Office Data.
6.2.6.1 Office Data Backup
It is always a good idea to routinely backup the data from the IMX memory to its internal hard disk. This data should
then be saved from the IMX internal hard disk to the IMX MAT hard disk to ensure that no data is lost.
Once the data has been saved from the IMX internal hard disk to the IMX MAT’s hard disk, you can use standard
operating functions to copy the saved data to floppy disks, zip drive disks, writable CD-ROM drives, or any other
type of external storage devices supported by the operating system. By doing a three phase backup (save), the IMX
Office data is ensured to be safe and always available for restoration in case of an IMX data memory loss, hard disk
failure, or any other IMX-related catastrophic failure that requires data memory to be reloaded.
MEM_HDD and HDD_MAT are the two commands used for this three-phase backup. Once the data is saved to the
IMX MAT, you can use Explorer to copy the appropriate files to the external mass storage device. In order to use
Explorer, you must first determine where the IMX MAT copy of the numerous IMX Office Data backup files reside.
As an example, assume the default drive and directory C:\IMXMAT were used when IMX MAT was installed. Also
assume that a PBX Alias was configured using the PBX Configuration dialog and assigned the PBX Alias name
MY_PBX.
The IMX MAT always uses the same data directory structure when backing up data from the IMX. It creates a sub-
directory under the IMX MAT home directory called DATA. Under the DATA directory another sub-directory us-
ing the PBX Alias name is created. In our example, this sub-directory is named MY_PBX. Under the PBX Alias
directory, another sub-directory is created. The name of this directory is BACKUP. This directory structure always
holds true. The only variables are the name of the IMX MAT home directory (default C:\IMXMAT) and the PBX
Alias directory (in our example, MY_PBX). The complete directory structure for our example looks like this:
C:\IMXMAT\DATA\MY_PBX\BACKUP. The bottom sub-directory (BACKUP) contains all files that have been
backed up from the IMX using the HDD_MAT command.
In order to save these files to an external storage device, open Explorer, navigate to the appropriate backup directory
(C:\IMXMAT\DATA\MY_PBX\BACKUP) and select ALL files and/or sub-directories and copy them to your ex-
ternal device. You now have a safe backup of your IMX data memory that can be stored at an offsite location.
6.2.6.2 MEM_HDD
The following steps explain how to perform the backup and restore of PBX data to the PBX hard drive.
1.
Enter MEM_HDD in the Run Command field on the IMX MAT main menu.
2.
Press Enter.
3.
The Backup and Restore dialog box displays.
