initialization wizard.

Backup and Restore Using SFTP 
This section discusses the following topics:
  • Overview, page 14
  • Configuring Backup and Restore Using SFTP, page 15
Overview
Starting in release 3.0, you can transfer files from any Cisco Unity Express application to and from the 
backup server using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). SFTP provides data integrity and 
confidentiality that is not provided by FTP. 
Because SFTP is based on Secure Shell tunnel version 2 (SSHv2), only SSHv2 servers are supported for 
this feature.
To run backup and restore over SFTP, you must configure the URL of the backup server in the form of 
sftp://hostname/dir, and also the username and password to login to the server. The backup server must 
have an SSH daemon running with the SFTP subsystem enabled. The SSH protocol allows various user 
authentication schemes. In Version 3.2, however, only password authentication is supported.
