IPAC Server Administrator's Manual
Backing up Your Database
Your database should be backed up on a regular basis. You must also back it up before
upgrading the application firmware. IPAC Server™ facilitates the backup and restoration of
your database, as well as the export of the System Activity Log.
The frequency of system backups depends on the amount and regularity of changes to the
data in IPAC Server™. As a rule, it is strongly recommended that backups be taken, either
manually or automatically, to preserve data against unintentional or catastrophic loss.
Administrators with appropriate permissions can make backups of the system.
To create a backup of your database:
1. Scroll over the System link. The sub-navigation menu displays.
2. From the sub-navigation menu, click Database. The Database sub-navigation
menu displays.
3. From the Database sub-navigation menu, click Backup & Restore. The Backup &
Restore page displays.
4. All backup files are normally encrypted. If you desire that the backup file be
unencrypted, check the Generate an unencrypted backup file checkbox.
5. Click Save Backup in the Backup section of the page. Your browser guides you
through the procedures for saving the backup file.
