Backup/Restore NRS (7.5)

Manual Backup:

A good backup of the active NRS database will save your bacon - do this now!

To make a backup copy of the NRS database:

• Login to the UCM, and select NRSM (Primary) from the elements list
• In the NRSM left menu Tools section, click Backup
• In the Select Backup Action drop down, choose Manual Backup, and click Submit.
• If there are no errors, Download the latest backup file to save the backup TAR to the local PC.

Database Restore:

• Login to the UCM, and select NRSM (Primary) from the elements list
• From the NRSM left menu Tools section, click Restore
• In the Restore from drop down, select Client Machine
• Browse to, and select the backup TAR file (on the client PC)
• Click Restore

The restore can take several minutes, do not reboot the server!

• From the NRSM left menu System section, click Database
• Cutover and Commit the restored database (NOT grey when DB's are different)

The database is automatically synchronized with the Secondary NRS server.

Set Server Role

All NRS database/programming changes are made in the Primary server - with ONE exception!
After restoring the database, the final step is to set the Server Role on the Secondary NRS server.

• From the UCM Elements list, select NRSM (Secondary)
• From System ➤ NRS Server, in the Server Configuration box, click Edit
• Change the Server Role to Secondary (dropdown box), and click Save
  Note: 'Server Role' is the ONLY change made to the Secondary server

• Restart applications, by checking all and clicking Restart
• Do this on BOTH Secondary AND Primary NRS servers

• Return to the Primary NRS server, and check the Endpoints are Registered.
