Backup

Backup

This tool is used to backup account application server installations

and other NGASI configurations.

The steps to configure Backup are:

1)Login to NGASI AppServer Manager as Administrator.

2)Click the "Administrator Tools" Fisheye  Menu Item.

3)Click the "Backup" tab.

3)Fill in the Backup Information form e.g.

       Backup Directory

       Backup Time

       Enable Backups

       Backup notification Email

5)Click the "Set Backup Configuration" button when done.

Sometimes you may already have a backup scheme for the accounts

home directories and/or you only want to backup NGASI configuration.

In that case, set the following in the

/usr/ngasi/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/ws/webapps/appservermgr/ZP-INF/wsportal.properties file:

backup_exclude_accounts=true

NOTE: On Windows, if the backup destination is located on a network

drive, you will have to first set the backup directory on a locally

attached drive. Then schedule a Windows task run as

a user with network access, to copy the backup contents to the

network drive. This is because by default NGASI is run by the

"system" user, which does not have network privilege.
