Creating and Restoring Database Backups
38
3. (Option) In the Backup Information area, change your preferences if necessary.
“Backup only if modified” is selected by default to save space and avoid duplicate identical
copies. The default number of versions to keep is 10. The Interplay Engine always keeps the
last Complete backup and later Fast backups. For more information, see “Recommendations
for Backup Configuration” on page 31
.
4. (Option) In the Backup Location preference, change the path if desired.
a. Select Custom.
b. Click Browse, and navigate to the location you want. For a shared storage location, you
might need to type the path.
The custom location must be specified as a UNC path. You can also change the name of the
folder from _Backup to another name. See
“Recommendations for Backup Configuration”
on page 31
.
5. (Option) In the Fast Metadata Backup area, select “Fast Metadata Backup Enabled”
(disabled by default).
6. (Option) If Fast Metadata Backup is enabled, you can change the Fast backup frequency.
The default is set to Daily. You can select any number of days on which you would like to
perform Fast backups or you can set a Fast backup for one day a month.
7. (Option) If Fast Metadata Backup is enabled, you can change the Fast backup time by doing
one of the following:
- Select Once at and change the hour and minutes (within 10 minute intervals) on which it
occurs using the up and down arrows.
- Select Every and set the backup to occur at regular intervals starting at midnight. Use
the down arrow to select the interval.
- Select Custom and specify custom backup times. Use the up and down arrows to select
the time, and then select Add. Repeat to add more times to perform the backup. Select a
time and then Remove to cancel a backup.
The Backup time is the Interplay Engine server's local time.
8. In the Complete Metadata Backup area, make sure the option “Complete Metadata Backup
Enabled” is selected (default).
Avid recommends that you schedule a Complete backup once a week.
9. (Option) Change the Complete backup frequency. Because Complete backups can take a
long time and affect system performance, Avid recommends that you perform Complete
backups when the server is not being used or when usage is lowest. The default is set to
Sunday. You can select any number of days you would like to perform Complete backups.
