Database backup and restore
TruVision Navigator offers users the ability to backup the TruVision Navigator database.
This backup should be moved off-machine by an Administrator for safekeeping. Should
something happen to the machine where the TruVision Navigator database resides, the
Administrator can install that same version of TruVision Navigator and restore the
database with the backup file. This will bring the system back into operation quickly
without manual re-entry of device, user, group, permission, or other system configuration
data.
To backup the TruVision Navigator database, right-click on the TruVision Navigator
Server node and select Database Backup. The Backup Database dialog will appear.
Provide a database backup name (no file extension is necessary) and take note of the
path where the database backup file will reside. The Administrator should copy or move
this file to a safe location. Upon initiation of the backup, refer to the Tasks panel for
status. After successful completion, your database backup file will reside at the
designated location.
Figure 79: Backup Database Dialog Window
To restore the TruVision Navigator database, right-click on the TruVision Navigator
Server node and select Database Restore. The Restore Database dialog will appear.
Ensure that a copy of the backup database file has been placed in the directory listed on
the form. Enter the exact name of the file in the text field provided. If you are restoring
the database to a SQL instance that requires SQL authentication credentials, enter
them. Otherwise, use the default setting. Upon initiation of the restore, refer to the
Tasks panel for status. Once you see the Restore Task in the Task panel, logout of the
application. Log back in and your database should be restored.
