I'd recommend taking the voicemail down, pulling the drive off, and creating an image using a package like Acronis TrueImage or WinHex. This way when the drive fails, you're not totally SOL.

Make sure you have an UPS, not just a surge, and if you are in a lightning prone area, lightning protection on the CO's. I have several older Toshiba XII's and XX's over 20 years old and still running strong. Andy https://www.teleco4.com
