Creating Database Backup Configurations

You should create a different database backup configuration to back up each individual database on your computer. For each database, you need to select just the related database files, and set a schedule indicating when that database should be backed up.

Note: It is not necessary to exclude the database-related files from the Files and Directories backup configuration.

To create a database backup configuration

1. On the Databases Backup form, click New.

2. On the Computer Backup form, type a name for the database backup configuration in the Name of database box.

3. In the Files to Backup tab on the Computer Backup form, specify the files and directories associated with the database or application that you want to back up. You can use either of these methods to specify the files:

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

   • Manually define the file selection rules.

4. In the Schedule tab, create a schedule for the backup configuration.

5. Click Save.

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

7. Do one of the following:

   • Click Submit to accept the backup configuration. The name of the new database backup configuration is displayed on the Database Backup form.

   • Click Back to make changes to the configuration.

8. To configure additional database backup configurations, repeat this procedure.
