Backing up a database
Grass Valley recommends that you back up all the databases of the GV STRATUS system before

also be placed on another machine or an external drive for extra precaution.

system to backup, which are the following:
• ISDB
• MediaFlow
• MediaFrame
• RulesEngine
3. Right-click on a database and select Tasks | Back Up .
4. On the General page, in the Database drop-down list, select the database.
5. In the Backup type drop-down list select Full .
6. Type the backup set name and select the backup destination.
