System and method for providing a backup-restore solution for active-standby service management systems
First Claim
1. A telecommunication system comprising:
- a first service management system comprising a first database;
a second service management system comprising a second database;
a storage device shared by the first and second service management systems;
first circuitry in communication with the first database and the storage device, the first circuitry operative to store a backup of the first database in the storage device; and
second circuitry in communication with the second database and the storage device, the second circuitry operative to load the backup of the first database from the storage device to the second database.

Abstract
The preferred embodiments described herein include a system and method for providing a backup-restore solution for active-standby service management systems. In one embodiment, a telecommunication system is disclosed having first and second service management systems (SMS), a storage device shared by the first and second SMSs and circuitry operative to provide backup/restore functionality. This provides system redundancy in that the second SMS can perform the same functions as the first SMS in the event that the first SMS is unavailable due to, for example, system failures, a scheduled maintenance, or an upgrade process. Other embodiments are provided, and each of the embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.
