Backing up Vocera Data

Use the Vocera backup utility to backup existing data. After an upgrade, the Vocera server restores backed up data the first time you launch it.

To back up Vocera data:
  1. Launch the Administration Console on your Vocera Voice Server system.
  2. Click the Maintenance button in the navigation bar to display the set of Maintenance tabs. By default, the Server page is already selected.
  3. Click the Backup button.
    Vocera backs up your configuration data to a file in the \vocera\backup directory of the server computer and displays a dialog box to show you the progress. When the backup is finished, Vocera displays the progress as 100%.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog box and return to the Administration Console.
  5. If your Vocera installation has a modified \vocera\server\properties.txt or \vocera\telephony\vgw\vgwproperties.txt file, back up the file to a flash drive or to a temporary location on a network drive.

    After you install Vocera 5.2.0, you will need to merge the changes into the corresponding file on your upgraded Vocera Voice Server.
