# SAA Backup and Restore

Speech Auto Attendant user data source configuration, departments, dialing policies, miscellaneous parameters, and line group configuration are backed up automatically by the current NuPoint UM backup procedures.

On Standalone SAA systems, you can perform backups using the instructions in the Backup section of the NuPoint Unified Messaging Technician's Handbook.

Note:

- When SAA is configured to use Active Directory or MiCollab as its user data source, the backup function will not back up (or restore) information stored in Active Directory. Failure to back up Active Directory properly could result in data being lost.

- Options to back up/restore messages and fax cover pages are not available on standalone SAA systems.

- If you choose to back up or restore "Names and Greetings" in any of the backup menus, then every prompt recorded for SAA (recorded names, departments, as well as customized auto-attendant system prompts) will be backed up (or restored).
