Allows you to specify options for backing up the site.
Back up all plants and reference data at this site
Allows you to include all plant structures in the site as well as the reference data for each associated application. This option is dynamic and obtains the list of plant structures directly from the site schema. A scheduled backup with this option selected will include any new plant structure and reference data added to the site schema at a later date. When a plant structure is included in a site server backup, the contents of the plant structure backup will be bundled into a separate backup zip file.
Submit to task scheduler wizard
Allows you to create a one-time only or recurring backup schedule. If you select this option, two extra pages in the Site Server Backup wizard will display to allow you to input the scheduling information.
Schedule name
Defaults to the name of the site being backed up. You can edit this value. If a schedule with this name already exists, you will be prompted to enter a unique name for the schedule.
Backup location
Specifies where the zip file containing the site backup data is placed when the backup process finishes. By default, the backup path specified during site creation displays. You can change this path. This field is limited to 255 characters and cannot contain any of the following characters: ~ ` ! % * ( ) { } [ ] / ; : ' " < > , ? |
If the backup location for your SQL Server site is located on a separate computer
from your database, you must change the login information for the SQL Server services
as follows:
-
In the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative Tools > Services.
-
In the Services list, double-click MSSQLServer to open the MSSQLSERVER Properties dialog.
-
Select This account, and type the user name and password for the domain user who will be starting the MSSQLSERVER service. Ensure that the user specified in This account is granted read/write permissions to the share where backups are stored.
-
Save your changes.
A separate zip file containing all of the data necessary to restore the plant structure and associated information is created for each plant structure included in the site backup. These zip files are placed in the same backup location as the site backup. In this situation, the site backup location specified above overrides the plant backup location specified when the plant was created.
On an Oracle platform, if the specified system user does not have privileges for performing this action, on clicking Next, an additional dialog opens on which you need to enter the system user and password details for a user who does have these privileges. The information entered on this dialog is used only to allow the backup process to complete successfully; it is not retained in the database. For details of how to grant backup and restore privileges to a general admin user, see Create Oracle Admin Users with Limited Privileges in the Smart Engineering Manager Installation and Upgrade Help.
