Scheduling Drawing Saves and Database Backups
You can schedule regular backups of an IzoT Commissioning Tool network using IzoT
Commissioning Tool or the Windows Task Scheduler.
Scheduling Backups with IzoT Commissioning Tool
You can schedule IzoT Commissioning Tool to automatically save an OpenLNS CT drawing and back
up the network database. To use this feature, you set an interval in which the OpenLNS CT drawing is
to be saved and the network database backed up.
To set the automatic OpenLNS CT drawing save interval, follow these steps:
1. In the OpenLNS CT drawing, click Add-ins, point to IzoT Commissioning Tool, and then select
IzoT Commissioning Tool Options. The Network Properties dialog box opens.
2. Select Backup/Restore from the Options Category list.
3. In the Drawing Save field under the Auto Save Interval box, enter the desired number of minutes
between the automatic saves in the network properties. The default value is 60, which means that
the OpenLNS CT drawing is saved every hour by default.
4. In the Database Backup field under the Auto Save Interval box, enter the desired number of
minutes between the automatic database back ups. The default value is 0, which means that
automatic backups are disabled by default.
Once you set a database backup interval, IzoT Commissioning Tool will make the automatic hot
backups on the specified interval as long as changes have been made to the network database since
the previous backup, the changes were made using IzoT Commissioning Tool or reported by an
OpenLNS event, and you are using IzoT Commissioning Tool on a local client. The hot backup
will be stored in the DbBackup<dd>\<network name> folder, where <dd> is the number in the
sequence of hot backups made for that network (for example, the third hot backup made for a
network named “Building” would be stored in the DbBackup03 \Building folder, provided that
the maximum number of hot backups is set to 3 or more).
