Using Studio for a Full Server Backup
Studio can perform a full TDV Server backup. This capability is available for those with these administrative rights: Access Tools, Read All Resources, Read All Users, and Read All Config.
This option is equivalent to the backup_export command-line utility.
To perform a full server backup
1. Select the Administration > Full Server Backup menu option.
The Full Server Backup window opens. Check boxes in the Include Resource Information area are:
— Checked and dimmed if the information must be included for a full server backup.
— Unchecked and dimmed if the information cannot be included in the backup.
— Checked if the information is included by default but can be excluded.
— Unchecked if the information is omitted by default but can be included.
2. Check or uncheck the undimmed boxes as appropriate to this backup.
3. Use the Browse button to specify a file in which to store the exported resource.
The Save window appears for specifying and locating an export file. You can:
— Create a new export file by typing a name for it in the File name field. The filename extension (.CAR) is automatically added.
— Use an existing CAR file. Locate it using Browse, and click Save.
If you use an existing CAR file, its contents are overwritten when you complete the export process.
4. Type a password to encrypt the CAR file. Type the same password to confirm it.
A password is required to export resource data.
5. Optionally, type a description for the export file in the Description field.
6. Click OK.
