[cisco-voip] Backup of CCM

Wed May 10 14:00:59 EDT 2006

We use Symantec Ghost, and Bart's PE Network boot
(http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/) disk. You may have to modify to
the network driver files, but once done, boot to CD to load network
drivers, map a drive to a network share that has the Ghost executable,
run ghost and save the image to your network share. Then use the BARS
utility to perform nightly backups. How often you image the server is up
to you, but quarterly if possible. I agree it is much easier to utilize
the 7835 with Raid level one, all you have to do is rotate drives
periodically.

Although it may be possible to add a second HDD to your 7820 and run
Raid 1, we found it to be somewhat cost prohibitive.

Although Cisco probably won't tell you to use ghost, I can tell you that
I use it as standard practice.
Before deploying on site at a customer, I always create a ghost image of
the server as it appearred in staging and burn it to a DVD.

Neesen

how are you doing ?

my advice is to use a 7835 /dl380 where you can but it is not always
possible. BARS can be used to back up call manager configuration but not
the OS and CCM application.

With a DL380 - once you have a stable config you can pull one disk in
the raid and place it in the safe - when a disaster hits the box you can
always pull the running disk after shutting the server - replace with
the disk from the safe and boot from it and have a full working config.
If you have frequent changes this will mean you loose some of your
changes after the last RAID when you pulled the second disk.

7825 / dl320 -- BARS - good documented solution -- and maybe some
ghosting software - I am not a server person so I don't really know what
can be done

Hi,

I have a client who supplied DL320 to install CCM, I would like to know
if cisco recommends me using ghost software to backup clients disk drive
in case of server crash, or must I only use hot swappable ?

Kind Regards
