14.1 VIOM Backup Service
The Backup Service of the
Note that its sole purpose is currently to back up the VIOM data- base, whereas the backup of ServerView database is done by ServerView itself. But a backup of the VIOM database will be of little use if the ServerView database is lost. So, in general, you should back up both databases periodically at roughly the same times.
Under Windows, the Backup Service is designed as a Windows service using the Open Source Quartz framework.
The service schedules backup jobs for the databases currently used by VIOM, namely SQL Server on Windows respectively PostgreSQL on Linux.
The Backup Service allows three types of backup, for which there is one backup job each:
•A full backup of the database (full backup job), on Windows and Linux
•An incremental backup of the database (incremental backup job), on Windows only
•The backup of the transaction logs (transaction backup job), on Win- dows only
Note that under Linux and PostgreSQL no transaction logs are saved - only full backups.
You may modify the schedule of these backup jobs in a syntax similar to UNIX cron format.
The Backup Service is integrated in the install packages of VIOM Manager. The Backup Service does not start directly after installation, as it must be configured first. After this you must start it manually.
