Database Maintenance
The AMWorks software allows administrators to manually backup, restore and clear the user
database as well as automatically backing up the user database at certain events. It allows
administrators to take a “snapshot” of their configuration as it currently exists and saves that file to
a directory separate from everyday database operations. It is recommended that the system be in
sync before any backup functions are started.
To manually backup the user database:
1. Select Admin Tools - Database - Backup Database from the menu bar.
2. Enter the directory for the backup.
3. Click the Execute button.
To restore a user database:
1. Select Admin Tools - Database - Restore Database from the menu bar.
2. Enter the directory where the backup is stored.
3. Click the Execute button.
To schedule automatic database backups:
1. Select Admin Tools - Database - Event Backup from the menu bar.
2. Select when you would like for automatic backups to occur.
3. Click the OK button.
NOTE: You must perform at least one manual backup before enabling automatic backups.
