Setting up Automatic Gateway Backups
You can set up a daily schedule for automatic Gateway backups in the Gateway Webpage.
To setup the automatic backup
-
Go to the Configure section of Gateway.
-
Click on Configuration > Gateway Settings.
-
On the Gateway Settings page, scroll down to the bottom of the page to the Scheduled Backup Settings section.
The properties in this section allow you to enable and set the scheduled backups.
-
Select the check box for Enable Scheduled Backups.
This enables the automatic backups at a scheduled time.
-
In Backup Folder, type a path to a folder where the backups should be saved. For example, you can type:
\\computer\share\backup The path to a folder where the backups are to be saved can be a local folder (C:\backups) or a network path (\\fileserver\backups). -
In Backup Schedule, type a UNIX crontab scheduling string to specify when you want to make the backups.
For example, 15 1 ***, makes a backup 15 minutes after 1 hour every day, every month, and every year.
-
In Retention Count, you specify a number which will be the number of backups kept in the backup folder. For example, you can specify 5 if you want to only keep the last 5 backups.
-
Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Now the Gateway will automatically make backups for you.
