[cisco-voip] um, where'd the scheduled backups go in PLM

Tue Jun 27 13:47:36 EDT 2017

I have removed all of the standalone PLM/ELMs from my customers.  It just
didn't make sense to have to worry about another box.  I never found a use
case that having a separate box actually made a difference.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to look at the CLI scheduling options. 

I see that it's going away in v12 (smart only) but we'll be on v11 for the
next couple of years at least. So I'd like to see this working. We'll have
to watch out for server restarts. I have a script that checks for daily
backups so that would theoretically catch it.

You can schedule it from the CLI but I find that restarting this machine in
the past has turned this backup off, and I would have to go reschedule it
and turn it on.

If you're using it for usage reporting this is probably more concerning than
if it is just providing licensing. Since we don't often issue new licenses
out into our system the "restore" would just be missing that usage data but
would be fine to restore licensing should we have to rebuild this machine.
(Standalone PLM).

Supposedly it is gone after 11.5 anyways so I am not too concerned about it.
I don't know how the "satellite" works at this point to tell if it is just
the same thing as PLM again or not.

Best,

Yes ? we?re looking at a stand alone PLM. We have multiple voicemail and
cucm clusters and liked the idea of separate xLMs.

In the GUI, I just have backup/restore. That?s it. No devices, no schedules,
nothing. Not even # of copies to keep. Docs say that?s limited to 2.

Are you dealing with a standalone PLM? If it's co-res, you'd just backup the
PLM feature in the normal CUCM DRS.

For standalone, you should be able to use all the normal CLI DRS utilities
(or activate the CUCM application for the purpose of accessing DRS).

Thanks,

Ryan

So, just setting up PLM, and I noticed, surprisingly enough, that the
backup/restore menu is a simplified menu of what ELM had.

Basically, just backup/restore.

No scheduled backups, no different backup device configurations.

While I can appreciate not much changing in the licensing manager, it?s
still a drag to see this gone. We built some workflow and recovery
strategies based on this.

Any ideas as to why this happened?
