CentreVu
Explorer Database Backup 1
CentreVu Explorer stores ECHI data from the CentreVu CMS in a Microsoft SQL
Server database. We recommend the database be periodically archived to allow for
data recovery in the event of a catastrophic system failure. The backup interval
should be determined based on acceptable data loss. Nightly or daily off-peak
backups are suggested.
Data backup is performed using standard Windows NT and SQL Server tools.
Contact your Windows NT and SQL Server administrators to assist you in setting up
a data backup plan for CentreVu Explorer.
Preventing data loss up front is the best method for assuring the integrity and
accuracy of your data. Setting up the CentreVu Explorer server with a fault-tolerant
disk configuration is the best way to prevent data loss. See Windows NT Help for
more information about how disk mirroring, disk stripe sets, and redundant array of
inexpensive disks (RAID) configurations can help you achieve fault tolerance and
performance for your CentreVu Explorer server.
