Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

Before you can perform a network backup, MeetingPlace 

Network Backup Gateway must be installed and configured. For more 
information, see the MeetingPlace Network Backup Gateway System 
Manager’s Guide.

Follow these guidelines when you perform a network backup:

•

Schedule regular daily backups.

•

Schedule backups at night.

From your workstation, log on to MeetingTime.

Click the Register Book, and select 

 tab.

Network backup

As a second line of resort, you can schedule and run regular file transfers to a 
computer on your LAN. You can then back up the files according to your company’s 
established procedures. A network backup copies only the configuration and 
scheduled meeting information in your MeetingPlace database. No voice recordings, 
such as profile names and meeting recordings, are included in the backup.

The amount of load on your system determines how long a backup takes. In general, 
backing up a MeetingPlace database takes one hour. Backup could take longer if 
your system is heavily loaded with meetings and scheduling activity at the time of 
the backup. 

When and how often you schedule backups depend on the number of users, the 
frequency of configuration changes that occur in your system, and your corporate 
backup guidelines. For more information, see the MeetingPlace Network Backup 
Gateway System Manager’s Guide.
