the /backup folder. This process takes approximately 6 minutes.
5. Select File | Upload System Files. The system files that IP Office Manager has will be uploaded to the /primary
folder on the System SD card. This includes IP Office software files and Embedded Voicemail prompt files.

features however will continue running for up to 2 hours while the card is shutdown.
