Backups help ensure, that your files aren't permanently lost or damaged. The [Automated Backup] or "Script Execution" tool serves to perform database backup or run SQL script based on a specified schedule, thus to save your time and be able to protect your database from possible disruptions.

Use this section toolbar to perform the following operations:

  • Press [Create or Modify Configuration] to launch the backup wizard and configure backup settings (see the chapter about Backup / Restore Database).

  • If you have already configured the backup configuration, you may choose it from the drop-down list next to the "Configuration" field and click the [Run Backup] button.

  • [Add Current Backup to Scheduler]

Open the scheduler form with the main parameters for settings:

  • "Task name" - choose from the drop-down or type manually.

  • "Task type" - this field is not active for editing by a user and is filled by default.

  • "Task configuration" - select the configuration name that you want to be used for automated backup.

  • Specify the time period when this backup will run, i.e. daily, weekly, monthly and at once.

  • Depending on the period, you have chosen, complete the following fields:

< - "Start time" of the procedure with the specification of the particular day

< - The start time of the procedure and the particular day of the week

< - The start time of the procedure with indication of particular day of the month

< - The start date and start time of the procedure

Additionally, you can configure if the task is repetetive.
