Chapter 4 – Backing Up & Restoring the System
The backup and restore utilities let you:
• Back up files after installation or before a major software upgrade from the voice
messaging system screen.
• Transfer backup files to your support computer.
• Restore backup files if your system crashes or equipment fails.
The BRFT (backup and restore file transfer) utility consists of two software
programs, the BRFT Host, and the BRFT Remote. The BRFT Host is
included on the voice messaging system hard disk. The BRFT Remote
must be installed on the same support computer that you use to establish
remote access connections.
