Creating and Restoring Database Backups
31
c
The _PropertyStore folder is critical if you need to completely restore Av id as sets. Avi d
recommends that you schedule a Complete backup once a week and a Fast backup (either
Incremental or Differential) daily.
For information on how to restore a database, see “Restoring a Complete Backup or a Fast
Backup” on page 43
.
Recommendations for Backup Configuration
Automatic backups, as scheduled through the Interplay Administrator, do not back up the entire
database, so they are only one component of a complete backup strategy.
The following table lists the different types of backups needed to completely back up the
Interplay database. For an Interplay archive, substitute AvidAM for AvidWG.
This type of manual backup might involve tape backup or another kind of backup process.
c
The _Master folder, which holds source files for file assets, is not included in the automatic
backup, which includes only metadata. It must be backed up by another backup method
regularly. Also be aware that the automatic backup process does not back up Avid media
files on shared storage workspaces.
Type of Backup Folders or Files Backed Up
Fast Metadata Only backup AvidWG\_Database
Complete (Full) backup
Fast Incremental backup
Fast Differential backup
AvidWG\_Database
AvidWG\_PropertyStore
Automatic Full Backup WG_Database$\_InternalData
This folder is automatically backed up once a week
at 1 a.m. on Sunday.
Manual backup AvidWG\_Master
AvidWG\AvidWG.pro
AvidWG\FolderLocations.xml
See
“Interplay Databases, Folders, and Files” on
page 27
for descriptions of these folders and files. It
is not necessary to back up AvidWG\_Backup
unless you want to make a backup of automated
backups. Other folders in AvidWG do not need to
be backed up because they are temporary folders
that are automatically recreated.
