# Restore Data

CAUTION:
Partial restore is not supported. Ensure that all data you want to keep is backed up before restoring.

Use this procedure to perform any of the following data restore operations:

- LAN Restore using FTP

- LAN Restore using MS Networking

- USB Restore

Message waiting indicators will automatically refresh following a restore. Time required for MWI restore is dependent upon the number of mailboxes in the system.

This procedure requires you to shut down the system and disable the module(s). All modules of a system must be both stopped and disabled before restoring the database.

Note: Support for multiple-module servers (e.g. NPM UM 640) was discontinued with NuPoint Release 6.0.

## Standard and Active/Passive Systems

To restore previously backed-up data:

1. Shut down the system and disable all the modules. See Shutting Down the System. The module will reboot automatically as part of the system shutdown.

2. At the # prompt, enter startnpm. A list of commands is displayed.

3. At the Enter one of the names: command, type system.restore, and then press Enter. The Restore Menu is displayed.

4. Select one of the following restore options from the menu:

   - USB Restore

   - LAN Restore using FTP

   - LAN Restore using MS Networking

8. When the system restore process has completed, the LAN Restore Menu will reappear. Exit from this menu by selecting (X) Exit. The system updates the configuration records.

9. At the prompt, type host.status, and then press Enter. The Module Maintenance Menu is displayed.

10. Select (E) to enable a module, or type all to enable all the modules.

11. If you are enabling a specific module, type the number of the module at the Which Module? prompt.

12. At the # prompt, type console to return to the Main Menu.

13. Reboot the system to restore FPSA functionality. For more information see FPSA.

14. Log into each of the other modules and start up NuPoint Unified Messaging manually.

The data restore is now complete.

## Active/Active Systems

To restore data on an Active/Active system

1. Log into the master node using the cluster IP address.

2. Shut down the NuPoint Unified Messaging system by accessing the System Maintenance Menu and selecting the (S) System Shutdown option.

3. Answer N to the Transfer mastership to another node? prompt that appears if you are on a master node.

4. Answer All to the Modules to shutdown prompt, and then type Y to confirm.

5. Type shutdown to reconfirm and start the shutdown process.

6. Answer the questions to the MWI and Paging prompts.

7. Answer Y to the Enable or disable modules? prompt.

8. From the Module Maintenance Menu that appears, select D to disable a module (you then need to enter the specific module to disable), or type all to disable all the modules.

9. NuPoint Unified Messaging is now completely stopped.

10. Type startnpm to start NuPoint Unified Messaging.

11. When the NuPoint Unified Messaging system has started, type system.restore to start the data restore process.

12. The data restore process for the Active/Active system is the same as for the Standard platform, steps 4 through 13, above.

13. NuPoint Unified Messaging will start on a local node, and you then need to access the second active node to invoke the startnpm command manually.

The data restore is now complete.
