The Backup Command creates a backup set that includes the selected model database and its associated site and catalog databases. The reports and reports schema databases are not included in the backup set.

During the backup process, the software creates a single backup configuration file (.bcf) that contains information about the backup set. The software saves the backup configuration file on the database server in a folder location that you have specified. A log file recording the results of the backup process and describing any problems is also created in the specified backup location.

To complete the backup set, you must manually backup the SharedContent folder for the model.

Backup schedule

An established backup plan is mandatory for your databases for performance and as a means of disaster recovery. If the databases are never backed up, the log file will continue to grow until no more drive space is available, thus causing the database to come to a halt. See Backup Command.

  • If necessary, you can save more than one model to a single folder location. If several models refer to the same catalog database, the software saves the catalog database only once. You can also configure the client computer to work with only one site database at a time.

  • The backup and restore functionalities also facilitate sending model data to another site. For example, an office in one location can back up the files in site, model and catalog databases to a compressed file (for example, *.zip), and then forward the backup file to another site.
