Nortel PBX's - soft backups?

[Voice99]

hi, does anyone know if an Option 11 or 61 or 81 can be backed up to the network instead of to a floppy disk? I have 8 systems that need to be backed up, preferably to a shared drive. I know LD 137 or 13x is for backups, just not sure if they can be backed up to the network.

if you are referring to the older systems that don't have a flash drive (Floppy drives only);
If they are on the network and you can access via Rlogin, then you can use WinSCP to back up the FLOPPY Drive. If you need to restore it, you would copy everything back on to a clean floppy.
It will take a little tinkering to get the login just right, and you'll select either /F1 or /F0
depending on the date of the last system backup to floppy.

I use this method to back up my 61c to my laptop for offsite copies; and then copy that to the cloud storage.

Yes you should be able to back them up to a network drive. I good start is here.

I think the xmodem procedure from ld143 only works on an option 11 (small system) - and just a note: I've never tried the WinSCP backup on a small system, but I would think it would work in the same fashion; just the drive letters would be different. (you would need to access the backup flash drive letter.) Just a thought!
