A backup function is available on the operator workstation to protect the
contents of the database from unforeseen disasters. To avoid conflicts, it is
preferable to backup when there is minimal traffic. There are two options
when backing up the database - the database can either be backed up to the
local operator workstation’s hard drive or to a diskette.
The restore process requires that the MIDAS Controller tasks are not running.
The database is restored from the backup diskette using the uncompress utility.
This causes the database files on the server to be overwritten with the files
from the diskette. Once the database is restored, the MIDAS Controller can be
restarted.
If the database was backed up to the operator workstation's hard disk, the
backup file has to be copied to diskette before it can be restored.

For effective control and maintenance of the system, the user requires
information on the performance and behavior of the system while operational.
To achieve this goal, the system maintains logs and provides the capability for
viewing logs and generating reports. The logs are maintained on a daily basis.
A separate file is created each day for each log. The operator can specify the
number of days for which the logs are to be maintained. The system
automatically deletes the oldest log file. The available logs and reports
include:
• Event Log
• Occupancy Report
• Completed Call Log
• Active Call Log
• Control Channel Statistics
• Node Channel Status
• Customized Reports are:
! Site Configuration Report
! Directory Report
! Connection Report
