CUCM 6 and BARS...Multiple .tar files on backups

[hauchinango]

On my old 4.X box, when I did a backup I would get a single .tar file for that backup instance.

Now, on 6.x, I get 8 or so .tar files per server in my cluster.  Is this normal?  The backup still comes back stating successfull, but wondering if I need to do a restore, what file is it looking for?

Hi there,

For 5.x and 6.x versions this is the expected result

Yes, those are the files required to do a CUCM restore. As shown below;

Thanks Rob.

I also opened a TAC case, and the engineer informed me that the xml file is the one BARS looks for when doing the restore.

I wish the docs would have been clear on this.
