I have a customer that wants to decommision his Octel 200 but first wants to back up to floppy all the messages in one particular mailbox - no others! and then restore the messages into another Octel 200 that has a mailbox with the same number, is this possible? If so, how?

Octel 200 back up to floppy question

Sorry, but it is not possible to copy messages from the server to a floppy (or any other medium). The only solution if it was absolutely necessary, would be to network the two system together and forward the appropriate messages from one mailbox to another.
It is possible to copy and restore Greetings and name recordings, so if there are any applications which require porting from one system to another this can save time with the re-recording element.

Thanks for your reply Jon24422531.
The server will be decommissioned and will be in storage but powered up so forwarding the messages over won't be possible as it won't be connected to their network, but I've just heard there is a way round it. I was told that you need to add attribute 21 to the cos of the mailbox you want to backup. It then converts all the messages to scripted or sequential messages which can be backed up. I can then restore the messages onto another server.
I will test this next week and will let you know......fingers crossed!!!!
Thanks again.

I hate to dampen your hopes, but I think you'll find that attribute 21 will not work retrospectively, sorry. It is used with attribute 20 in which you record the messages as prompts by entering 114 at the ready prompt to record.
Unless you can use networking (or colocation) it is probably not going to be possible. I have heard that by swapping the OCC chip and adding the disk from the old system it may be possible to fool the system into accepting the 'rogue' disk, but I have never seen it done and it would require a level 9 engineer to do it. (Don't try this at home!)
