The GAPTEQ server configuration allows the setting of automated backups with selection of day and time on the Backup/Restore tab. In addition to time-controlled automation, backups can also be triggered manually at any time.
1. Create backups
- To do this, go to the GAPTEQ menu → “Repository” → “Server Configuration” → “Backup/Restore” tab
- Activate the backup program with the “Enable backup” checkbox directly with the stored configuration.
- You can also specify here, for example, the time at which the daily backup should be performed and how long the backups should be stored.
- In addition to the time-controlled, automated backups, you can also quickly create a backup manually by clicking on “Backup now”.
- All backups with the file extension .bak are stored in the specified storage location.
2. Restore from backup files
You can restore individual repositories or the server configuration from a backup file directly in the Backup/Restore program.- The backup contains backup copies for all repositories of the GAPTEQ server.
- A backup file contains all settings from the GAPTEQ server configuration.
- Contains all users and user groups at the time of backup creation.
All backups created are listed under Backup files. If you want to restore a repository, click on the file in the list and then on "Restore...".
- Select a repository from the file you want to restore and then click OK to complete the process.
Optional:
Checkbox “Clear before restore”: The repository is deleted and recreated before being overwritten.
System Database:
Restore System Database (Users, Groups, Server Configuration).
If this checkbox is activated, all users, user groups and the server configuration are imported from the backup file (applies to all repositories of the GAPTEQ server)
Attention! When Restore System Database is executed, the current server configuration is overwritten with the settings from the backup file.
Costs may be incurred if users are created when restoring the system database.
