Restore Your System from a Backup

In case of data loss or system failure, you can restore the PBX from a backup. This topic describes how to restore data on the PBX.

  • Make sure that you have backed up system configurations and required files, such as custom prompts and CDR.
  • Read and understand restrictions for data restoration.
    • You can restore a backup file that is created from an older version of PBX.

    • You can NOT restore a backup file that is created from a newer version of PBX.

      Example: Restoring a backup file (v83.4.0.12) to PBX (v83.4.0.8) would NOT work.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
  2. Select a backup file to which you want to restore, click .
  3. In the pop-up window, do as follows:

    1. If you want to retain existing network basic settings (the settings on System > Network > Basic Settings), unselect the checkbox of Network Basic Settings.
    2. Click OK.
  4. Reboot the PBX to take effect.
