Moveware System Backup

Moveware Database

Using a Databases Tools – Client or Databases Tools, Moveware creates a basic backup of your database files from C:\Databases\{Live11/Beta11/Test11}. The backup runs while the database is active and does not need to be stopped to create the backup. This is known as an “Online” backup. The Databases Tools – Client is locate in C:\Moveware\Company folder. A standard copy of the file can be found in C:\Moveware\Live\Setup. It will make a copy of the Moveware.* file in the database directory and create a single backup file call Moveware.backup. By default this file is normally create in the C:\Databases\Live11\Backup folder but it can be create in another specified location, such as to a data folder. This backup database can be used if you need to rebuild your Moveware database. The Database Tools contains the Progress backup utility called Backup_StandAlone.bat which is run twice; once to backup the database and once to verify the backup has been successfully created. The syntax for the backup command is: PROBKUP online <database filename> <backup filename> where “online” is the switch to tell the backup utility that it is an online backup,<database filename> is the name of the database file (usually c:\databases\live11\Moveware) and <backup filename> is the name of the database backup file. It is recommended that this backup batch file is run regularly, for every day at 20:05. It is usually set up via the Microsoft Scheduled Tasks utility or other scheduling program so that it’s an automatic process. It is your company’s responsibility to monitor this backup and ensure that it is working correctly. If additional information is required, this should also be backed up by your company. Note that the Databases Tools require proper configuration in config.bat.
