Upgrading an existing S8300A to R3.1 using the Web pages
272 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Procedure Two: Restoring data backup
(If upgrading from R1.2.x through 2.x)
Do these tasks:
● if the original release was between 1.2.0 and 1.3.9, and you performed a Linux Migration
backup
● or if the original release was 2.0 or later and you performed a normal data backup
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you used the Linux Migration Backup/Restore backup process, there will be a
single backup file with a name starting with "upgrade-2.0." Be sure to restore that
backup file, not the backup sets that you may have created with the Data Backup/
Restore — Backup Now process. If you restore the wrong files, the system can
be damaged and the only recovery path is to remaster the S8300 hard drive
again. This recovery procedure can be started using the remaster command,
which is described in Maintenance Commands for Avaya Communication
Manager, Media Gateways and Servers, 03-300431. After running the remaster
command, reboot the S8300 to start the RP program and proceed with
Remastering the hard drive and installing the upgrade software
on page 259.
To restore backup data:
1. On the Maintenance Web Interface, under Data Backup/Restore select View/Restore Data.
The system displays the View/Restore Data screen.
