8e6 Technologies 3 manual Set up/Edit External Backup FTP Password

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION: CHAPTER 2 - CONFIGURING THE ER 3.0 SERVER

Some scenarios and action plans to consider include the following:

•The ER 3.0 database becomes corrupted - Correct the root problem. Restore the database from the most recent ER 3.0 backup, and reprocess raw logs up to the current date and time.

•The data drive fails - Replace the data drive. Restore the database from the ER 3.0 backup drive, and reprocess raw logs up to the current date and time.

•The backup drive fails - Replace the backup drive, and perform a manual backup.

•Both data and backup drives are damaged - Restore the database from the most recent remote backup, and repro- cess raw logs up to the current date and time.

As you can see, it is critical that raw logs are available to bridge the gap between the last database backup and the present time, and more frequent backups (local and remote) result in less “catch-up” time required for reprocessing raw logs.

Set up/Edit External Backup FTP Password

In order to back up the ER 3.0 Server’s database to a remote server, an FTP account must be established for the remote server.

NOTE: In the External Backup FTP Account frame, the login name that will be used to access the remote server displays in the Username field. This field cannot be edited.

1.In the Password field, enter up to eight characters for the password. The entry in this field is alphanumeric and case sensitive. For security purposes, an asterisk displays for each character entered.
