RC-E User Manual
Backup, Restore and Move System Configuration
No Surveillance database?
Surveillance is the default name of the database containing the system
configuration. If you can find the database, but it is not called Surveillance, it could be because you gave
the database another name during the management server installation.
View example...
We will assume that the database uses the default name.
Example:
During management server installation it is possible to change the database name from the
default name Surveillance to another name
o
Make a backup of the
Surveillance
database and make sure to:
Verify that the selected database is
Surveillance
Verify that the backup type is
full
Set the schedule for the recurrent backup
Verify that the suggested path is satisfactory or select alternative path
Select
to
verify backup when finished
and to
perform checksum before writing to media
.
4. Follow the instructions in the tool to the end.
Tip:
Also consider backing up the
Surveillance Log
database, using the same method.
Backing Up Log Server Database
Handle the
SurveillanceLogServer
database using the same method as when handling system configuration
described earlier in this topic. The
SurveillanceLogServer
database (name may be different if you renamed the
system configuration database) contains all your OnSSI RC-E system logs, including errors reported by recording
servers and cameras.
The database is located where the Log Server Service is installed, typically the same place as your management
server. Backing up this database is not vital since it does not contain any system configuration, but you may later
appreciate having access to system logs from before the management server backup/restore.
Restoring System Configuration (From Scheduled Back Up)
Prerequisite:
To prevent configuration changes being made while you restore the system configuration database,
stop the:
Management Server Service (see "Management Server Service and Recording Server Service" on page 198)
World Wide Web Publishing Service, also known as the Internet Information Service (IIS). Learn how to stop the
IIS at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732317(WS.10).aspx (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/cc732317(WS.10).aspx - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732317(WS.10).aspx).
