Manually backing up your system configuration (explained)
When you want to perform a manual backup of the management server's SQL database that contains your
system configuration, make sure that your system stays online. The default name of the management server's
SQL database is Surveillance.
Here are a few things to consider before you start the backup:
l
You cannot use a backup of the SQL database to copy system configurations to other systems
l
It can take some time to back up the SQL database. It depends on your system configuration, your
hardware, and on whether your SQL Server, management server and Management Client are installed
on the same computer
l
Logs, including audit logs, are stored in the log server's SQL database and are therefore not part of a
backup of the management server's SQL database. The default name of the log server's SQL database is
SurveillanceLogServerV2. You back up both SQL databases the same way.
Backing up and restoring the event server configuration (explained)
The content of your event server configuration is included when you back up and restore system
configuration.
The first time you run the event server, all its configuration files are automatically moved to the SQL database.
You can apply the restored configuration to the event server without needing to restart the event server, and
the event server can start and stop all external communication while the restoration of the configuration is
being loaded.
Scheduled backup and restore of system configuration (explained)
The management server stores your system's configuration in an SQL database. Milestone recommends that
you regularly make scheduled backups of this SQL database as a disaster recovery measure. While it is rare to
lose your system configuration, it can happen under unfortunate circumstances. Luckily, it takes only a minute,
and backups also have the added benefit that they flush your SQL database's transaction log.
