Backup Systems and CUCM/CUCXN/CUPS

[kknuckles]

I recently bought a Unitrends Recovery-813 backup system for my organization. I am doing bare metal backups of my critical servers and backups of my data etc... The unit can also do bare metal backups of linux boxes.

Right now I use the built-in backup system of CUCM/CUCXN/CUPS to backup those systems. I am wondering what the thought or general concensus is of installing a third party backup client on the servers and letting it do full backups of them? My thought is that if I had to, I could quickly bare metal restore onto a replacement unit or hard drives etc... This would potentially lessen the down time of a unit.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Assuming you're using MCS servers, you simply cannot install anything into the Linux appliances. There is no way to install any kind of 3rd party app into them.
