[cisco-voip] DMA-Snapshot or replication?

[Carter, Bill]

Again, Cisco documentation is misleading. DMA data as is.  Therefore
should be run just before the upgrade.  I think documentation is
suggesting DMA should be run in advance to make sure everything is ok,
so unexpected problems are not encountered on upgrade night.

FYI, checked this in the lab and it replicates.

	When DMA creates the informix DB on the CM4.x PUB does it take a
snapshot of the current database at the time that its run and maintain
that copy of the DB indefinitely or does it actually create a snapshot
and keep a running replication of the actual CM database so that changes
via ccmadmin are captured in the informix DB? 
	Scenario
	Customer wants to install DMA tomorrow during their maintenance
window however they want to pull the actual DMA backup in 2 weeks right
before we cut the new system? So in theory if DMA does not replicate the
DBs they could have a DMA backup that's 2 weeks old? 
	Thanks
