Concept
System Backup
Before upgrading the system, it is strongly recommended that you archive the historical data and back up the SmartStruxure servers to preserve the current data and configurations. If you plan to upgrade WebReports, be sure to back up the Reports database in SQL Server.
The following diagram describes the recommended steps for archiving and backing up a multi-server system running Building Operation software.

Description |
|
1 |
Archive system data |
Perform a manual archive of the system historical data in the Enterprise Server. (Archiving is not on SmartStruxure server devices.) For more information, see Manually Creating an Archive . |
|
2 |
Back up current SmartStruxure servers |
Create an All data backup for the Enterprise Server and each SmartStruxure server device. The backups do not need to follow any particular order. For more information, see Backing Up SmartStruxure Servers Manually . |
|
3 |
Save backup sets to an external location |
Save the Enterprise Server and SmartStruxure server device backup sets (.xbk) to a safe location on a file system that is external to the Enterprise Server. For more information, see Backup Set Storage and Protection . |
|
4 |
Back up current Reports database |
For systems that include a Reports Server, back up the WebReports database. For more information, see Backing Up the WebReports Database . You can also back up the Reports database folder to another location on the file system (not the default source location in the C:\Program Files\ directory). |
