Backing up settings

Backup functionality is available on the page Settings > General > Backup/Restore. Backup and restore settings on one appliance are applied to all the appliances in your network.
Note:
  • The version of the backed up settings must match the version of the currently installed product.
  • Backup and restore settings must both use either local or remote file storage. You cannot restore a local file using remote settings.
  • The backup settings file size may not exceed 10 MB.
  • The following special characters are not supported in backup server entries: |, <, >, and &.

Steps

  1. On the page Settings > General > Backup/Restore, from the section Backup Settings, click Backup.

    The utility activates and conducts a backup if settings have been defined.

  2. Save your backup settings on the Log Database server, mark the check box Save backup configuration settings files on a remote server.

    The text fields in the section Remote Server Access are enabled; enter the following server information:

    • Domain/Hostname

      Enter the domain if a domain account is used; otherwise, enter the hostname of the SQL Server machine.

    • User name

      Enter a user with SQL Server log-in permission.

    • Password

      The password may not contain more than one double quotation mark.

    • Backup/Restore file path

      Enter the shared folder path on the remote SQL Server machine (for example, \\10.1.1.2\shared\).

  3. Ensure that the remote log database server is accessible; click Check Status.
    The backup initiates when all configuration is complete. The Backup and Restore Log displays the time-stamped backup logs.
