Set up an Automatic Backup Schedule

Yeastar P-Series Software Edition supports to automatically back up specific configuration data at the scheduled time. This topic describes how to set up an automatic backup schedule.

Prerequisites

Before backing up configuration data, you need to decide the followings:
  • Where - Whether to save the backup file to local drive, hard disk driveor network drive. If you want to save the file to hard disk driveor network drive, you need to set up a hard disk drive or add a network drive on the system first. For more information, see the following topics:
  • What - Whether to back up custom prompts, CDR, or company contacts and phonebooks settings.
  • When - Make a daily, weekly, or monthly backup.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Maintenance > Backup and Restore, click Backup Schedule.
  2. In the pop-up window, enable Backup Schedule.
  3. Configure an automatic backup schedule.
    1. Set the automatic backup period. This can be a daily, weekly, or monthly backup.
      • Frequency: Choose to make a daily, weekly, or monthly backup.
