Back Up Events
Note the following details about events:
•
Events cannot be restored from a backup file. The file is intended for recordkeeping purposes
only.
•
Events can be exported using the Import/Export Wizard provided on the Utilities disc, as
described in the Import/Export Wizard User Guide.
To back up events:
1.
Log into the System as a user with Execute permissions for the Backup Database feature.
2.
Select System Administration > Backup/Restore.
3.
Click [Schedule Backup].
4.
In the Event Schedule Configuration area of the page, click [Backup Now].
The Running Scheduled Backup dialog box displays the results of the operation.
Restore from a Backup
IMPORTANT: Restoring a backup will overwrite the database, and any changes made since
the date of the backup will be lost.
1.
Log into the System as a user with Execute permissions for the Restore Database feature.
2.
Select System Administration > Backup/Restore.
3.
Click [Browse].
4.
Navigate to the backup file.
5.
Select the file and click [Open].
6.
Click [Upload Backup File].
Saving and Restoring Custom Settings
Use the System Administration > Save/Reset Settings page to create a restore point that includes all
of the data normally saved in a backup file, plus the custom settings of the System Controller. This is
like a custom default state.
Instead of resetting the System Controller to a factory default state, which would then have to be
reconfigured to specific requirements, the basic site configuration can be saved as a custom setting
and reset to that, should the need ever arise. The information is stored on the System Controller and
can be restored later using a preset security phrase.
Save Data and Custom Settings
This task creates a file with all current data and configuration settings stored on the System
Controller.
1.
Select System Administration > Save/Reset Settings.
2.
Select Save Custom Settings.
3.
Type a Username.
4.
Type a Password.
