• Backup File Location: Specifies the path to which backup files are saved. Set the path to a disk that
has enough space because backup files are typically large. Do not set the path to the operating
system drive because the operating system cannot start normally when this drive is fully occupied.
• Upload backup files to FTP Server: Specifies an FTP server to which backup files are uploaded.
• FTP Host: IP address of the FTP server.
• FTP User: FTP username. You can leave this field blank to log in as an anonymous user.
• FTP Password: FTP user password.
• Upload backup files to FTP Server: Allows you to set whether to delete locally saved files after
uploading these files to the FTP server.
• After the configuration, click OK, and the system automatically backs up the iMC BIMS databases
at the specified time.
Manually restoring databases
To manually restore databases, start the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent on the server, and click
Restore in the Environment tab, as shown in
Figure 32 . A confirmation dialog box as shown in Figure 34
appears.
Figure 34 Confirmation dialog box
To restore databases of the iMC BIMS system that has been started, click Yes. A dialog box appears for
you to select a database file to be restored. Select all database files. Click OK. A confirmation dialog box
appears saying “Do you want to start iMC BIMS immediately after the restoration is complete?.” If you
click Yes, the system begins to restore the databases.
The system prompts restoration success after the restoration is complete. Then click OK, and iMC BIMS
will be automatically started.
If the iMC BIMS system has just been installed (not started yet), click No, start iMC BIMS, and then repeat
the step above.
NOTE:
During the restoration process, the system stops and then restarts iMC BIMS and the database server.
Database backup and restoration when a separate database server is used
In the scenario where a separate database server is configured, no database files are saved on the iMC
BIMS master server. To back up databases, you must copy the backup configuration files generated on
the master server and other related files to the database server and perform related configurations before
backing up the databases. Perform these steps:
Start the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent on the iMC BIMS master server, and click Configure
in the Environment tab, as shown Figure 32 . The Auto Backup and Restore Configuration dialog box
appears, as shown in Figure 33 . For the configuration procedure, see “ Automatic backup .”
