Automate backup of your Manager (or Central Manager) data

The Automated Backups option enables you to schedule the backup of your system configuration. Setting a schedule also allows you to work on other configurations without having to worry constantly about manually saving your work. Scheduled backups are saved by default to your installation folder:

<Manager_Install_Dir>\App\Backups\ScheduledBackups

Note
By default, your Config Tables are scheduled for back up every Sunday at 0 Hrs 5 Min. Each scheduled backups is saved to the default scheduled back up folder.

To schedule a backup, do the following:

Select Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Maintenance → Database Backup → Automated Backups.
Note
To run the database backup automation for your Central Manager data, select Manager → Maintenance → Database Backup → Automated Backups. The fields displayed are similar to that of Manager described below.

  Note
  You can access Scheduler Details from Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Maintenance to see when the processes are scheduled. These processes can include data backups, database maintenance, and file maintenance actions. Based on this information, you can choose an appropriate time for the backup you are currently scheduling.
