NetWatch

Chapter 7: Utilities

Backing up the database from the web interface

To back up your database from the web front end you need to open the backup control from the utilities section. This brings up Netwatch Backup screen. Enter in a folder on the server to backup to, or you can leave this blank and the default folder will be used. The default folder is set-up in the system settings section and defaults to “c:\NetWatchbackup”. Once you have either entered a folder or you are happy to use the default, then you can press the backup button, which will copy the current database and visuals folder to the backup directory.

This may take some time, as the database can be quite large depending on the amount of devices in the system. Also make sure you have enough space on the NetWatch machine to copy the volume of information – ideally, the free space should be much greater than the side of the MySQL directory and its contents, as the bulk of this will be backed up in this operation.

Manual backup of maps and database

Optionally you can do a manual backup of the maps and the database. This can be done by copying the maps folder from the NetWatch\tomcat\webapps folder to a backup folder. Next, open the MySql\data folder and copy the penknife directory in the data section to a backup folder.

Restoring from a backup

To restore backed up files, shut down all three services from the NetWatch Service Manager and copy back over the files. If the backup was a manual one, simply reverse the process described above. If it was a backup from the NetWatch Backup page, copy the contents of the database directory to the mysql\data\penknife directory and copy the entire netwatch backup directory into the live netwatch directory. Restart the three services and check the NetWatch output log and NetWatch error log to make sure that the system started up successfully.

NetWatch Security
