9.1.1.3 Backing up configuration data
How to proceed?
General
The configuration data is saved in viva in the Configuration database.
The configuration data includes all settings that apply to all methods, i.e.
settings for devices, sensors/electrodes, solutions, dosing units, common
variables, global variables, rack data and templates, Security settings
(see Chapter 6.2.2, page 741) and User administration (see Chapter
6.2.1, page 734).
In local server systems (viva full), the configuration database is located in
the program directory of the computer on which the program has been
installed. In client/server systems (viva multi), the configuration database
is stored centrally on the server and contains all the configuration data of
all computers (clients) that are connected to this server.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended that the configuration database be backed
up periodically.
Backing up configuration data manually
1 Select the Configuration program part.
2 Click on the File ▶ Backup ▶ Manually menu item.
The Backup configuration data manually dialog window opens.
3 Select the directory for the backup in the Backup directory field.
4 Select or enter a new name for the backup file in the Backup name
list box. If an existing backup file is selected, it will be overwritten.
NOTE
If the backup directory is on a network drive, then the date of the
backup should be added to the Backup name, because the
backup date information is not available when the data is restored.
5 Click on [Start].
