[cisco-voip] backup strategy - pub and tftp? (V7)

[Ed Leatherman]

I've restored my cluster in the lab by installing each node and then
using DRS to restore from backup, starting with pub (obviously), then
tftp, then the subs. Is there a benefit to adding them as a new sub
versus restoring from backup? One of my subs is also a secondary TFTP
server so I would probably restore that one from the backup also even
if I re-added other subs from scratch.

Every time i've replaced a sub (hardware replacement), I've installed
CM on the new server and then restored the DRS backup to that sub,
seems to work out just fine.
