Back Up the DNCS and Application Server File 
Systems 
Perform a complete backup of the DNCS and Application Server file system now. 
Procedures for backing up the file system are contained in DBDS Backup and Restore 
Procedures For SR 2.2 Through 4.3 User Guide
 (part number 4013779). The backup 
procedures have been modified so that you no longer have to shut down the DNCS 
or the Application Server to complete the backup. If necessary, call Cisco Services to 
obtain a copy of these backup and restore procedures. 
Notes: 
 
Procedures for backing up the file system are found in the Backing Up and 
Restoring the DNCS and Application Server 
chapter of the DBDS Backup and 
Restore Procedures For SR 2.2 Through 4.3 User Guide
 (part number 4013779). 
 
It may take up to 2 hours to back up a DNCS file system; you can usually back 
up an Application Server file system in about 30 minutes.
