Backup Policies
It is strongly recommended that the FOXMAN‑UN database be backed up regularly. If your network is relatively active, i.e. there are large numbers of alarms and/or configuration changes, then you may prefer to backup the database daily, probably during the early hours of the morning. If your network is relatively inactive, i.e. relatively few alarms and/or configuration changes, then you may prefer to backup the database once a week, or maybe even once a month.
You should note the following:
• The database does not have to be stopped to perform the backup. The core component, agents and GUIs may all be active while the database is being backed up.
• Only a NEM administrator user may backup the database. Other users do not have permission to do this.
• Make sure that the NEM administrator user has the appropriate access right to the directory where the backup file is to be stored.
