The Location tab allows for programming what is backed up and where the backups are stored.
Open the Location tab as described in Enabling Scheduled Backups.
Program the following fields:
o Save system database to folder
Determine the path for the system database backup file folder. The backup file is always stored in a folder named after the connection, but you can specify any path for this folder. The default path is My Documents\5000CP.
The Schedule Backup feature keeps only a limited number of files as specified in the Backups tab in the Options menu. Any existing database backups in the directory are subject to the file limit.
Type a different path.
Use the browse button to the right of the text box to navigate to the folder you want. This allows for storing of backups on a different hard drive or even a network drive.
NOTE: Do not use a mapped drive for the location because a mapped drive becomes disconnected when you log off of the system. Program your backup to use the full definition of the path.
The backed up system database files are named simply with a date/time stamp and the intl suffix: yyyymmddHHMM.intl.
If there is a voice processing unit attached to the system, you can back up voice data along with the system database. This field consists of all store voice mail recordings (that is, messages, prompts, names, fax documents, and so forth).
NOTE: NP-UM voice data can not be backed as part of this automatic backup procedure. For information about how to backup NP-UM voice data, refer to the NP-UM documentation.
Voice Processor: Specifies the Voice Processor type:
o None (default)
o Basic Voice Mail (UVM)
o Enterprise Messaging (EM)
o Processing Server Unified Voice Messaging (PS-UVM)
When “None” is selected, no voice data is saved with the Scheduled Backup and the other fields in the Voice data frame are disabled. When a Voice Processor is anything other than “None,” the applicable fields become enabled. At this point, voice data may or may not be saved, depending on the selection in the Save voice data to box..
Save voice data to: Specifies a location for the voice data file. The following table shows the available options, along with the Voice Processor types for which they are offered. Whenever the Voice Processor type is changed, the selection in this box is changed back to “Not Saved.”

Voice data is not backed up. In this case only, the Path field is disabled. |

Voice data is backed up through the USB port, either on the 5000 CP itself (UVM, PS-UVM) or on the EM unit. |

Voice data is backed up on the local hard drive in the EM unit. |

Voice data is backed up to a Windows network location. In this case, the Path must contain a valid Windows network address. |

Path: When the Save voice data to box is set to anything other than “Not Saved,” the Path is defaulted according to the selection:
o USB Port: Type a folder or subfolder name in which to store the voice data. For UVM and PS-UVM, the path must always begin with U:/. For EM, the path must always begin with F:\.
o EM Local: Type a folder or subfolder name in which to store the voice data. The drive letter must always be D:\, and the default is D:\Backup.
o Windows Server and NFS Server:Type a valid network address including the server name and folder.
NOTE: When saving voice data in PS-UVM, type \\<hostname>\<path>. When saving voice data in NFS Server, type /<hostname>/<path>. If the host name does not exist in the path, the Voice Data Backup fails (see Scheduled Backup Troubleshooting Issues).
The Path cannot be validated at the time of programming. Make sure the Path is valid by scheduling a Scheduled Backup configuration test (see Test Tab). When the Scheduled Backup (or test) runs, if the Path is invalid, an error message is recorded and the voice data backup fails.
