Avaya CM Off-Site Backup, Simplified

Recent severe winter storms have negatively affected many businesses and telephone systems throughout the country. Whether your phone lines are down or your telephone system is physically damaged, chances are, you won't be able to use the backup media that you have stored onsite. Don’t let severe weather or other disasters prevent you from staying in touch with customers and employees. Back up your system today to prevent problems tomorrow.

Off-site backup doesn't have to be burdensome. You can do automated backups online. Some telephone systems allow you to perform automated online backups to a remote server thousands of miles away from your physical location. When your on-site backup is unusable, your off-site copy can come to the rescue.
