You can perform database backups on demand or schedule them to occur at set times and frequency. You can write backup files to the local server or to a remote server using FTP or SFTP. The backup process is logged to the syslog.
Starting in Address Manager v25.1, database backups can be performed from the Address
Manager UI or the Administration Console. The following section outlines working with database
backups from the Administration Console. For more information on working with database backups
from the Address Manager UI, refer to Database backups in the Address Manager UI.
Attention:
Address Manager includes a pre-defined database backup profile named
default. You can either use this default profile or create a new backup profile to
perform a manual or scheduled backup.- Starting in Address Manager v9.5.0, the
additionalmode has been removed and thebackupconfiguration item is available from the Main Session mode of the Administration Console. - When database replication is configured, you cannot perform a database backup on the
Standby servers; however, you can still configure a disabled database backup profile on
the Standby servers. If you attempt to execute a database backup on a Standby server,
the following error message appears in the Administration
Console:
System does not have a primary database. Backup [backup_name] cancelled
