Issue
Creating a Backup of the SQL Database
Environment
I/NET Seven
Cause
A backup of the database should be done once a month, at least, to ensure that everything is saved in the event of a crash or an upgrade is needed. This will assist in getting the system up and running again with little or no downtime
Resolution
- Close I/NET and I/O Server
- Go to Start > Programs > I/NET and select DBCreate Utility
- Log on using the username/password that was created when I/NET was installed
- Select the option for backup database
- Select the location where this backup would be placed. Preferably on another folder outside of I/NET
- Select Start and name the file the date that it is being done on for easy reference and then let the program run
- Upon completion, verify that the file was created with the date and time stamp.
