kb55: How do I backup my Longitude Server?
- On the Longitude server, go to \Program Files\Longitude\appman\config.
- Open the backupDefintion.xml file with a text editor like WordPad.
- Note that this schedule is initially disabled by its end date. Modify the EndDate property to enable the backup.
- A list of days of the week may be entered for daily backups.
(ex. Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday) - You may also edit this file to add additional files to the backup or change the destination to a different drive. If you have any customized files for Longitude - e.g. applications or scripts - please include these files in the backup.
- Enter a backup destination - make sure the destination has enough space for the backup files. The size for these files will vary depending primarily on the database size - take a look at the Longitude\sapdb\indep_data\wrk\FZEDB1\DATA* files - the sum of the size of these files will give you an idea of the maximum space needed.
***NOTE:
The destination location must be a local drive, and you cannot use any spaces when you specify it. For example: c:\program files\Longitude\backup should be specified as c:\progra~1\Longitude\backup
*** - When all changes to the backupDefinition are complete, save & close the file.
- Restart the Heroix Longitude Upgrade Manager service.
- When a backup time specified by the file occurs, the Upgrade Manager will backup the specified files and the database, and send an email when the backup is completed to the MailToForLongitudeProblems address.
- To run an on-demand backup, go to Administration >> Component Management >> Manage Longitude Properties >> Upgrade Manager >> Advanced and change the AdHocBackupTime value to a time you would like for the next backup. For example, setting it to 13:15 would schedule an ad hoc backup the next time 1:15 PM occurs. After the backup has been started, this setting will revert to the default "HH:mm" value, so the backup will only be done once when this setting is modified.
