Performing backups of server configuration data

It is recommended that you perform a regularly scheduled backup of your JSCAPE MFT Server configuration and user files.  This may be performed manually or automatically using the System Configuration Backup action as part of a trigger.

Manual Backup

To perform a manual backup of JSCAPE MFT Server create a ZIP archive of the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory.  This archive may be used for disaster recovery purposes.

Automatic Backup

1.Using JSCAPE MFT Server Manager create a trigger that uses the Current Time event.  When specifying the Condition use a time expression to set the time(s) of day that you would like the trigger to run.

2.When prompted to select the action, select the System Configuration Backup action and populate the required fields.

3.Click OK and Apply to save the trigger.

4.Select the trigger and click Run to verify that the backup archive is created successfully.  This archive may be used for disaster recovery purposes.

Note, unlike the manual backup the System Configuration Backup action attempts to save space by only including necessary files in it's archive.  The archive will include the following files

*.cfg

*.dat

*.vmoptions

*.lic

and the following directories

users

domains

relative to the installation directory specified in the System Configuration Backup trigger action.
