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.
