Automatic backup

Profiles

Creating backups is based on defined profiles. Each profile may specify:

•the directory where the created backups will be saved,

•the profile name,

•backup date.

The backup can store the selected data:

•collected Windows system log entries,

•generated alerts,

•counter and service monitoring history,

•user activity data,

•inventory data.

Backup rules

To configure backups, multiple profiles can be used. Each profile stores backup frequency (each day, week or month) and the time when the backup is to be performed. In each case the hour of the backup start is specified. If the backup is performed weekly, additionally set the weekday, if monthly – set the day of the month. In the case of large databases, creating backups can be a time-consuming task, therefore planning full backups for such times when it will not interfere with nVision operation in business hours is recommended.

To configure the automatic creation of backups:

1.In the main menu of nVision select Tools / Options.

2.Select Maintenance from the list.

3.Add a new rule with the use of the button or Edit one of the existing rules.

5.Set the backup frequency and the times when the backup will be performed.

6.You can also define the number of stored backups.
