COBRAS Overview

Consolidated Object Backup and Restore Application Suite (COBRAS) is a set of tools designed to allow administrators to backup all subscribers, call handlers, interview handlers, name lookup handlers, public distribution lists, and schedules and to restore some or all of that information onto another Unity or Connection server. It is specifically designed to allow for partial restores, restores onto different versions or products than the version that was backed up, and “merges” of data from multiple system backups. This tool does not provide the same functionality as DiRT (Disaster Recovery Tools) for Unity or the DRS (Disaster Recovery Service) built into Unity Connection in that it does not do a full backup of the entire database and restore it “en mass” on a new server.

There are two separate help files for COBRAS – one for each “mode” it runs in – the following links will open the respective help files with details on how COBRAS works in that mode:

Briefcase Mode (the most common) help.

Hot Mode for Connection to Connection migrations help.

COBRAS “Hot Mode” vs. “Briefcase Mode”

COBRAS works in two different modes. The most common is “Briefcase Mode” which is what most sites will use and has been out in production for some time now. In Briefcase Mode you can do a backup of Unity or Unity Connection and then restore that backup or only selected objects from that backup onto another Unity or Unity Connection server (see the Version Support section in the Briefcase Mode help file above for details). In Briefcase Mode there are never any changes made to the system that is backed up. You can restore some or all of the data to multiple target systems as many times as you like. The intent here is to allow sites to copy data from one install to another even when there is no direct network connection between the two – like putting the backup in you briefcase and walking to a new network to restore it.

Briefcase Mode is by far the more common usage scenario.

“Hot Mode” is designed for Connection to Connection migrations where both Connection servers are running 8.5 or later and are configured into a digital network. This is used for load balancing users between servers in a digital network.

The primary difference for Hot Mode is that users are MOVED from the source server to the target server. In other words the user’s mailstore is no longer homed on the source server (Unity or Connection depending on which version you’re running), but instead on the new target Unity Connection server in the digital network. In short there ARE changes made to the source server in this case – it’s not just a simple backup and copy operation as far as users are concerned. Call handlers, interview handlers, name lookup handlers and schedules are still copied from the source to the target Unity Connection server – only users are treated differently when running in Hot Mode.

More details about the migration process itself and differences with Briefcase mode can be found in the respective help files which you can open at the links above.

A Word about Phone Passwords

Since this affects all COBRAS import/exports modes (briefcase, hot mode, tenants) it’s being added here at the top level for clarity. A number of escalations of late have been raised claiming that COBRAS does not properly preserve PINs (phone passwords) when migrating across versions. To be clear COBRAS support migrations of PINs perfectly from any version of Unity and Unity Connection into any version of Connection 7.0(2) and later. Period. This has been tested hundreds of times and never fails.

However – if you are migrating a site that never requires users to change their PINs (I’ve seen sites with 10 year old PINs!) and you are doing migrations of systems that have previously been migrated from older versions of Unity or Connection these old PINs will very likely not work on your new system. This is not a bug and it cannot be fixed and there is no way around it. Short version sites that have such unsecure practices such as never requiring PINs and passwords be changed will experience pain during migrations – by design. Tools such as User Data Dump have features which allow you to determine how long PINs have been around and “spot” older style PIN constructions to assist with this but in reality everyone should change their PIN at least once a year at an absolute minimum.

So why is this you ask? PINs and passwords are stored as a hash string. This means when the system is validating “1831209” as John Smith’s PIN at login time it is not “unencrypting” their PIN in the database and comparing it to 1831209 to see if it matches. No well-designed system does that for any password construction. Instead it hashes the PIN entered by the user with the same algorithm and seed string(s) and sees if it matches the hash string in the database for John Smith. No one can ever know what the actual PIN really is – it’s stored as a “one way hash” by design. If someone hacks your DB and gets the hash they can’t reverse engineer it to find out what the PIN is and then log in as that user. That’s the point of the design.

Over the years there have been a number of hash methods used in Unity (on Windows) and Connection (on Windows and Linux). Older hash styles are supported in the newer systems so that migrations from older versions work. When COBRAS imports the user it notes to the new system what version these users are coming from such that it knows which hash pattern to use. This is how exports of 7.03 that are imported into 10.0(1) allow users to log into their mailboxes even though 7.0 and 10.0 use different hash algorithms natively. This works from all versions and is regularly tested.

However, and this is an important “however”, if you import from, say, Unity 5.0(1) into Connection 7.0(3) and then allow your users to NEVER change their PINs for years and then export from 7.0(3) into 10.0(1) what happens? Bad things happen. COBRAS notes that the version being imported from is 7.0(3) such that the Connection 10.0(1) system knows to use the hash style for that version. However, since the site never changed any of their PINs in years it’s actually using a VERY old hash style from Unity 5.0(1). When 10.0(1) goes to validate the user’s PIN when they log in it uses the hash style for 7.0(3) and, surprise, it does not match.

Yes, there are all kinds of insecure and hacky methods to try and “guess” which PIN style is used based on length, string style etc… that COBRAS would try and use to work around this and allow users to keep the same PINs forever. These are difficult, unreliable and represent a rather large amount of ongoing work. These will not be happening.

So if your site feels that minimum modern password and PIN security measures are more trouble than they’re worth then expect to have difficulty keeping these stale passwords and PINs across multiple migrations of Unity and Connection systems. We recommend that if you’re faced with such a situation that you get all your users to change their PINs at least once before migrating. Again, tools like User Data Dump and simple “change password at next login” features built into Connection make this reasonably easy for administrators to enforce and monitor. If that is considered to “intrusive” to the user base then expect to have to reset everyone’s password during migration – COBRAS has such a feature built into it or you can use other tools such as the Password and PIN Reset tool that can be used to assign random PINs to all users and generate a CSV file for administrators to use for emailing purposes or the like.

7.0.124 - 1/9/2013

· Added more logging, debug output and error handling around fetching license data via the ASP usage statistics page - unexpected content on the page was causing parsing errors which resulted in all license data not being written out to the database during export.

7.0.122 – 9/20/2012

7.0.107 – 5/7/2011

· Changed message export logic to use rolling GUIDs for all temporary WAV file names for compound and non secure messages during export to prevent issues where the OS is “lagging” in releasing handles to WAV files during packing and unpacking of files to the database.

7.0.106 – 1/24/2011

· Added user count to progress display instead of just percentage complete for message export view.

• Changed call handler progress count
• Added additional diagnostic output around the call handler top level export to catch invalid data from corrupted Unity backups.

8.0.31 – 9/12/2013

· Fixed issue with restores of versions of Unity prior to 4.0(5) that did not have per user speed/volume values – for these versions those values need to default to “normal” speed and volume settings (100 and 50 respectively).

1.2.11 – 8/10/2012

· Added logic to enable the “UsePrimaryExtension” flag for transfer rules if the transfer string from the backup matches the primary extension of the user or handler that owns the transfer rule. This “ties” the transfer string to changes made for the primary extension.

1.2.10 – 8/2/2012

· Fixed a problem for Unity message backups restoring to Connection where the fully qualified SMTP address of the sender was not being set properly in the message header so messages could show up as coming as an outside caller message when they should be identified users instead.

1.1.227 – 10/21/2011

· Added additional logic to manually map all known Windows timezones found in Unity to a close match in the Linux list of timezones used by Connection – this is not a 1 to 1 mapping and is a “best fit” attempt but is a bit nicer than just picking the first zone that matches the offset.

1.1.225 – 7/27/2011

· Added new “/ShareLoginInfo” CLI option to have all Connecton login/PW details to be shared across all users of COBRAS Import regardless of differences in local Windows domain login names being used.

• Updated Connection server details save/restore to the Access database files to attempt to resolve IP addresses to server names and to save details for hot mode connections.
• Added Credentials Manager dialog to let admins easily prepopulate and remove “remembered” information for Connection servers such that secondary admins can have access without knowing the password details for accounts to do it.
• Added /SilentCLI CLI option to keep dialog from barking about which CLI options are enabled.

1.1.218 – 7/3/2011

· Fixed a problem where remote users were not assumed to be able to “see” a message recipient for reply purposes so messages from those users were left as outside callers during restore.
