Modifying a Database Backup Configuration

1. On the MyLiveVault Home page, the All Computers form lists all the computers on your company account. Click Backup/Restore in the Action column for the computer whose database backup configuration you want to modify.

2. On the Computer Information form, click the Backup tab.

3. In the Backup Configuration section, click Edit.

4. On the Databases Backup form on the Change Configuration page, select the name of the configuration that you want to modify from the list of existing database configurations, then click Edit.

5. On the Computer Backup form, the current name for the database backup configuration is displayed in the Name of database box. You can type in a new name if you want.

6. The files and directories currently selected to be backed up or excluded from backup by this configuration are shown in the Files to Backup tab on the Computer Backup form. You can use either of these methods to modify which files and directories to back up:

   • Browse and select the files from a tree view of your computer's file structure.

   • Manually define the file selection rules.

7. The current schedule for the database backup configuration is displayed on the Schedule tab. You can modify this schedule.

8. When you are done modifying the backup configuration, click Save.

9. Review the information in the Computer Backup form's Properties and Specifications columns. 

10. Do one of the following:

    • Click Submit to accept the modified backup configuration.

    • Click Back to make additional changes to the configuration.

    • Click Cancel if you do not want to modify the configuration.

11. Do one of the following:

    • If you are done modifying database backup configurations, click Done on the bottom of the Change Configuration page (not in a form).

    • To modify another database backup configuration, go to step 4 and repeat these steps for that configuration.

If you modified the file selections for the backup configuration, LiveVault Online Backup Service stops the backup for this configuration and restarts it using the new file selections. The computer will be in an initial synchronization state again in which only the files selected for the first time will be backed up in full (that is, files that were selected on prior backup configurations are not backed up in full again). When the initial synchronization completes, the primary technical contact will be notified by e-mail.

If you modified the schedule, schedule options, or backup type, these changes are implemented as soon as possible.
