Purpose
A full backup includes all the data in the CentreVu CMS database
tables (historical data, dictionary, permissions, etc.). It is strongly
recommended that you do a full backup at least weekly. If the backup
does not fit on one tape, you are prompted for another tape when
needed.
You can use many backup combinations to preserve your data. In the
following example, the call center does a full backup twice a week.
This is how tapes are allocated for the backups:
Day
Wednesday
Saturday
The next example shows how the tapes that were allocated for a twice-
weekly, full backup are rotated over a two-week period. Notice that
extra tapes alternate with regular tapes from week to week so the same
tapes are not used every time.
