ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER

When performing a manual backup, the ER’s database is immediately saved to the internal backup drive. From the remote server, the backup database can be retrieved via FTP, and then stored off site.

TIP: 8e6 recommends executing an on demand backup during the lightest period of system usage, so the Server will perform at maximum capacity.

1.Click the Manual Backup button in the Internal Backup/ Restore Action frame to specify that you wish to back up live data to the ER Server’s internal backup drive.

2.On the Confirm Backup/Restore screen, click the Yes button to back up the database tables and indexes.

WARNING: 8e6 recommends that you do not perform other func- tions on the ER Server until the backup is complete. The time it will take to complete the backup depends on the size of all tables being saved.

Perform a Remote Backup

After executing the manual backup, a remote backup can be performed on your remote server.

NOTE: Before beginning this FTP process, be sure you have enough space on the remote server for storing backup data. The required space can be upwards of 200 gigabytes.

1.Log in to your FTP account.

2.Use FTP to download the ER Server’s backup database to the remote server. When you are in the /backup/data- base/ directory, be sure to get all the *.data files to include in your backup. You can then go to the archive directory to get all the raw logs to include in your backup.

3.Store this backup data in a safe place off the remote server. If this backup database needs to be restored, it can be uploaded to the ER Server via FTP. (See Perform a Restoration to the Server.)
