Backing up Aurora Ingest Database
It is advisable for users to back-up the Aurora Ingest database before upgrading to the
latest version of the software. With a database back-up, you can avoid any lost of feed
schedules and the need to key-in everything again in case of a system crash. The
back-up could also be placed on another machine or an external drive for extra
precaution.
The database back-up could be done easily using Microsoft SQL Server Management
Studio Express. Listed below are the steps to back-up your Aurora Ingest database:
1. Login to Windows XP as an administrator or as a user with administrative rights.
2. Go to Start>All Programs>Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and select SQL Server
Management Studio Express to launch the application.
3. Connect to your SQL Server by Windows Authentication.
4. Double-click on Databases and you could see the folder expands to show System
Databases and IS.
5. Right-click on IS and select Tasks>Back Up.
6. On the General page, select IS from the Database dropdown list or type “IS” if it’s
not listed in the dropdown list, and select Full from the Backup type dropdown
list.
7. Key in the backup name and select the backup destination.
