13.1.2. Configuring backup

With the Backup settings (backup) parameter you can define the automatic MS database backup method. You can enable automatic backup and then determine the base time for the first backup and also the interval between all subsequent backup processes. Additionally, you can define how many database backup copies are stored. Alternatively, you can create scripts to handle the backup tasks.

Backups are stored in the /var/lib/vms/backup directory of the MS host. The name of the backup file is MS-backup-<timestamp>.tar.gz

Warning

If you do not enable automatic backup you have to save the database manually, otherwise all database information might get lost.
