The Backup tab allows the user to backup and restore the entire Vault database. Since Vault uses SQL Server’s backup tool, this is merely an interface to manually create backups of the Vault database. To automatically backup your Vault database via a script, consult SQL Server’s backup documentation.
Vault backup files are placed in SQL Server’s defined location for backup files.
Backup Database
Backup File Name (*.sgvbak)
In the Backup File Name box, type the name of the backup file. The input name must be a valid file name. Vault will automatically append “.sgvbak” to the file name.
Backup Now
Click Backup Now to start the backup.
To cancel the backup, click Cancel. The backup will be canceled and any temporary files will be cleaned up.
Restore Database
Backup List
The Backup List box is a list of all files in the server backup directory that are Vault backup files. The date and time of the file are also listed.
Restore
Click Restore to restore the selected file on the server. All users must be logged off. If there are other users logged in and the Vault server is unable to lock the database, an error message will appear and the restore will be cancelled.
When you restore a backup, it will completely overwrite all the data in the Vault database in all repositories
You must provide the SQL Server password in order to restore the database.
Delete
Click Delete to delete the selected backup entry from the list.
Please Note: This does not delete the backup file itself from the SQL machine. You must remove these files if you want to reclaim disk space.
