I mean, what doest it need to be manually configure after a DRS Resotre ?  ...Enterprise parameters ?  All the option under System ?

DRS backs up everything (Except the DRS configuration)

When I've restored my pub from a DRS backup, I had to do nothing to else to the box to get the cluster back to the state it was in before. (well, except for rebooting the subs)

Hi

DRS should include everything - and it does mostly.

The exception I've seen is that when restoring to a new/reinstalled server, the restore usually works but subsequent upgrades often fail unless you reinstall any locale files.

I have seen bugs where DRS has missed things. (On one occasion it missed all the certs) But DRS should be backing these things up. It certainly does for me. If you think it's missing something, log a TAC case.

Hi Philippe,

Adding to the above list.

Note

After  you regenerate certificates in Cisco Unified Communications Operating  System, you must perform a backup so that the latest backup contains the  regenerated certificates. If your backup does not contain the  regenerated certificates and you must perform restoration tasks for any  reason, you must manually unlock each phone in your system so that the  phone can register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager

Hope this helps.
