Server Data backup
The Management application helps you to protect your data by backing it up automatically. Backup
is a service process that periodically copies and stores application files to an output directory. The
output directory is relative to the server and must use a network share format to support backup to
the network. The data can then be restored, as necessary.
NOTE
Backing up data takes some time. It is possible that, in a disaster recovery situation, configuration
changes made after the last backup interval will be missing from the backup.
The Management application allows you to view the backup status at a glance, initiate immediate
backup, enable or disable automatic backup, reconfigure the backup directory, interval, and start
time, and retrieve backup events.
What is backed up?
The data is backed up to the following directories:
•
Backup\databases — contains database and log files.
•
Backup\data — contains IP product firmware and configurations.
•
Backup\conf – contains the Management application configuration files.
