Maintaining the system configuration

The System > Maintenance > Configuration tab contains features for use during scheduled system maintenance: updates, backups, restoration, and centralized administration.

Backing up the configuration

Before installing FortiVoice firmware or making significant configuration changes, back up your FortiVoice configuration. Backups let you revert to your previous configuration if the new configuration does not function correctly.

System configuration includes the configurations that make the FortiVoice phone system work. User data includes user-configured settings, such as voicemail greetings and reminders.

You can back up the system configuration and user data.

In addition to backing up your configuration manually, you can also configure a schedule to back up the configuration automatically to the FortiVoice local hard drive or a remote FTP/SFTP server.

In a system configuration backup, FortiVoice includes the following data:

• Configuration (configuration file only)

In a user data backup, FortiVoice includes the following data:

• Contacts: Includes business and directory contacts, not personal contacts.
• Prompts: Includes all prompts, auto attendant greetings, and music on hold.
• Reminders: Includes system and user reminders.
• Voicemail greetings: Includes the voicemail greeting(s) for each user.

In a user data backup, FortiVoice excludes the following data:

• Voicemail messages
• Call recordings

  Note that FortiVoice stores call recordings in Monitor > Storage > Recorded Call (see Playing recorded calls). You can archive recorded calls to a remote FTP or SFTP storage server (see Archiving recorded calls).

• Faxes

  Note that FortiVoice stores faxes in Monitor > Storage > Fax Archive (see Viewing archived faxes). You can archive faxes to a remote FTP or SFTP storage server (see Archiving faxes).

To back up the configuration file

1. Go to System > Maintenance > Configuration.
2. In the Backup area, select System configuration or User data.

   If you choose to back up user data and the user data files are not updated, select the files to be updated and click Prepare first before proceeding to the next step.

3. Click Backup.

   Your management computer downloads the configuration file. Time required varies by the size of the file and the speed of your network connection. You can restore the backup configuration later when required. For details, see Restoring the configuration.

To schedule a configuration backup

1. Go to System > Maintenance > Configuration.
2. Under Scheduled Backup, configure the schedule time and the maximum backup number. When the maximum number is reached, the oldest version will be overwritten.
3. Enable Local backup if you want to back up locally. You can select a backup type to view, restore, download, or delete a configuration file.
4. Enable Remote backup and configure the FTP/SFTP server credentials if you want to back up remotely.
5. Click Apply.

Restoring the configuration

In the Restore Configuration under the System > Maintenance > Configuration > Trace Log, you can restore the backup FortiVoice configuration from your local computer. For details, see Restoring the configuration.

Restoring the firmware

In the Restore Firmware area under System > Maintenance > Configuration > Trace Log, you can install a FortiVoice firmware from your local computer. For details, see Upgrading the firmware.

Downloading a trace file

If Fortinet Technical Support requests a trace log for system analysis purposes, you can download one using the GUI.

Trace logs contain information that is supplementary to debug-level log files.

To download a trace file

1. Go to System > Maintenance > Configuration > Trace Log.
2. Configure Trace Log settings.
3. Click Prepare to make the trace log file ready before downloading it.
