Data Backup Page
The Data Backup Page contains settings that determine how adTempus data is backed up. Two forms of backup are available, and each serves a slightly different purpose. We recommend that you create both a snapshot and a database backup each day.
Create a daily snapshot of all adTempus data
This option creates a daily snapshot of the adTempus data. Snapshots allows a granular restoration of individual objects (for example, you can undo the changes for a single job, or recover a deleted script). They also allow you to view and compare changes between versions of objects. However, they do not include job history data, and are less useful than database backups in the event of a catastrophic failure that results in the loss of your adTempus database.
System snapshots appear in the Change Log for each object contained in the snapshot.
Members of the adTempus Administrators group can create an on-demand system snapshot using the Create Snapshot command.
Create a daily backup of the adTempus database
This option creates a daily backup of the adTempus database. Database backups allow you to recover quickly in the event of a database or system failure. They include job configuration and job history.
If the database server that adTempus is using is located on the same computer as adTempus (as is the case if you are using the default SQL Server Express database), the database backup will be located on that computer as well. You should copy the database backup file to another computer each day to protect it in the event of a system failure.
See the Backing Up and Restoring adTempus Data topic for more information on database backups.
