Execute a Manual Backup
In addition to performing on demand backups in preparation
for a disaster recovery, you may wish to execute a manual
backup under the following circumstances:
• Power outage - If there is a power outage at your facility
and your system uses a backup battery, you might want to
back up data before the battery fails.
• Rolling blackout - If your facility is subjected to rolling
blackouts, and a blackout is scheduled during the time of
your daily backup, you should back up your data before the
blackout period, when the ER 3.0 Server will be down.
• Expiration about to occur - If a data expiration is about to
occur, you might want to back up your data before losing
the oldest data on the ER 3.0 Server, prior to the daily
backup process.
WARNING: If corrupted data is detected on the ER 3.0
Server, do not backup your data, as you may back up and eventu-
ally restore a corrupted database.
When performing a manual backup, the ER 3.0’s database is
immediately saved to the internal backup drive. From the
remote server, the backup database can be retrieved via FTP,
and then stored off site.
TIP: 8e6 recommends executing an on demand backup
during the lightest period of system usage, so the Server will
perform at maximum capacity.
