Managing Backups for Multiple ScopTEL Systems
Managing Backups for Multiple ScopTEL Systems
- ZIP and tar and 16 bit applications and are therefore limited in
creating a maximum file size of 4Gb. Therefore if the compressed backup
will be larger than 4Gb the backup will be truncated due to the
limitations of these 16 bit applications.
- Remote backups to FTP servers can be difficult due to NAT issues. If
the ScopTEL server is behind NAT and the remote FTP server is behind
NAT it is doubtful that the remote backup will succeed due to the number
of dynamic ports that must be allocated for the file transfers.
- Local Backup (File) is not a recommended backup Destination in the
ScopTEL Backup Manager because it will create a local backup file each
time it is executed and this can result in low drive space.
- If you are backing up a server in order to migrate to another
platform it is highly recommended you use the method published in our
knowledgebase at https://service.scopserv.com/portal/en/kb/articles/module-17-scoptel-backup-restore-using-putty-winscp the purpose of the document you are reading is to schedule remote
backups especially if you are an administrator trying to automate
backups for multiple remote systems.
