Server Data backup
Back up directory structure overview
The Management server backs up data to two alternate folders. For example, if the backup
directory location is D:\Backup, the backup service alternates between two backup directories,
D:\Backup\Backup and D:\Backup\BackupAlt. The current backup is always D:\Backup and
contains a complete backup of the system. The older backup is always D:\BackupAlt.
If a backup cycle fails, the cause is usually a full CD-RW. When the backup cycle fails, there may
only be one directory, D:\Backup. There may also be a D:\BackupTemp directory. Ignore this
directory because it may be incomplete.
