Nice post Turlupin Thanks a lot for this cool info

Thanks for the info....

What about 46X5? Are there no parameters for voicemail?

Yes, there is parameters for the 4635 et the 4645 backup.But in swinst you need to provide an argument (the voicemail hostname for the 4635) to launch the backup, and i'm still looking searching to transmit this agument on the command line.

The parameter for the 4635 is 4635j
The parameters for the 4645 are eva (for the configuration of the voicemail) and eva-msg (for the configuration and the messages)
I can run my test only for the 4635 because whe don't have 4645 on the network, if somebody can try the command, it could be nice.

Very nice and useful

Tested and working 100%

Nice job !!

That's awesome, you da man Turlupin!!!!

Hi ,
Where will the 46x5 backup be stored in?I mean which folder and how to restore it?

You will find the voicemail backup files in /usr4/BACKUP/IMMED

The command for the restoration will be :
But as i said in an earlier post, i still searching the differents parameters used on the command line for the backup/restore operations of the voicemail.

It would be nice if it created folders for each day like the system automatic backup. But this is better than nothing.

If you want to store the bakcup file in a specific directory, you can execute a script with cron, which will first create a directory like /usr4/BACKUP/IMMED/01-03-2008, then launch the backup command and finaly move the backup file in this directory.
