● History, network usage, and log data
Which data you can restore depends on:
● The type of backup file (full or config-only) you selected.
● For a restore from a non-identical software version, which restore operations the current version
supports for the source version data.

Backup and Restore Procedures
To download a backup file
1 Go to Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
The list contains the last ten backup files.
2 Select the backup file you want to download.
3 In the Actions list, click Download Selected.
4 Choose a path and filename for the backup file and click Save.
The File Download dialog box indicates when the download is complete.
Caution: Restoring Config-Only Backups
Restoring feature and system configuration, but not network configuration (or vice versa) will result in
invalid primary or backup cluster assignments for some territories. After the restore operation is
complete, go to Network > Site Topology > Territories and assign primary and backup clusters to
the affected territories.
Caution: Restoring Initiates a System Restart
Restoring from a backup restarts the system and terminates all active conferences.
Note: Restoring Backups with Resource Management Integration
You can restore the system while it’s integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or
CMA system, but the result depends on the state when the backup you’re restoring from was made.
If the system was integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system when
the backup you’re restoring was made, that integration is restored. If the system wasn’t integrated
when the backup was made, it will no longer be integrated after restoring.
Note: Backing Up and Restoring with Superclusters
You can (and should) create and download backups from clusters that are part of a supercluster, but
you can’t restore a cluster while it’s part of a supercluster. You must manually leave the supercluster
first. If the cluster is responsible for any territories (as primary or backup), go to Network > Site
Topology > Territories and reassign those territories.
If you restore a cluster using the USB Configuration Utility while it’s part of a supercluster, it’s
automatically removed from the supercluster.
