Backing Up Your Content Server
About Backing up
The Backup Procedure
The backup procedure described here will back up your
application, database, media and all settings.
This full backup differs from the partial backup tool used in S2.0
which only backed up the database.
This procedure alllows you to make one-off as well as scheduled
backups. We recommend regular backups, and making a special
one-off backup before upgrading your Content Server.
It is very important to follow the restore procedure as described
here, otherwise future upgrades may not work.
You will need a USB Hard drive with enough space for all files
to be backed up. Check the total size of the files to be
backed up on your Content Server (in My Computer). You
can also back up to a network location.
If you are not backing up to a network location, connect
a USB hard drive to a USB port on the Content Server. If
the USB device does not appear in
My Computer,
go to
Computer Management
and assign a drive letter which
does not conflict with the existing drives (eg. F).
Login to the web interface using Internet Explorer and
select
Windows Server
from the
Administrator Settings
menu.
If you are not using Internet Explorer, you can also open
the Backup Wizard from a Remote Desktop session. Go
to
Start
>
All Programs
>
Accessories
>
System Tools
>
Backup
Click on the
Maintenance
tab, then select the
Backup
link.
Authenticate to open a
Remote Desktop
connection. If
your Internet Explorer 7 settings prevent you from running
Active X scripts, you may need to add the Content Server
to your
Trusted Sites
list in IE.
Start the
Backup and Restore Wizard

Before You Start
Before attempting backup, check in
