Configuring the backup
The default setting of the automatic backup of the management database is 1:01 a.m. every night. To restore a backup the Ocularis Recorder Administration Tool is required.
- The Use automatic backup checkbox to schedule automatic backups is checked by default. We do not recommend unchecking this box.
- Select the time and start time of the backup if you want to change it from the default time.
- If necessary, edit the storage path for data backup or click the Select button to select the folder directly in Windows Explorer.The export folder can only be selected if the client is installed on the CoreService Master server. Otherwise, the storage path to the export folder on the server has to be entered manually. We recommend storing the backup on a different computer than the CoreService Master server.
- Select Delete old data to delete existing backups before the data is backed up. This setting is only applicable for automatic backup. There are up to eight backups.The backup folder should be backed up to a tape drive or other backup medium at regular intervals to ensure that the data backups are still available in the event of a hard drive crash.
- Click the Perform backup button to carry out a manual data backup immediately. The backup is started. The backup file is named as follows: SeeTec_M_20yymmdd.hhmm.zip, where yy is the year, mm
the month, dd the day, hh the hour and mm the minute.Example
"SeeTec_M_20130725.1145.zip" for
a manual backup performed on July 25, 2013, at 11:45 am.
"SeeTec_A_20130725.1145.zip" for an automatic backup performed on July 25, 2013, at 11:45 am.
- Apply
the set values if you want to make further settings.
- Save
the set values to apply the values and conclude input.
Note: the default location for the backup file is on the local C: drive. (c:\Program Files\OnSSI\Ocularis Recorder\sapdb\backup. We recommend changing the location to another drive in case of hard drive failure. (see step 3 above)
