System Configuration - Database Tab

At the top of this tab you may set a folder on the host computer which will be used to store or retrieve database backups. The setting defaults to IntraVUE's default database folder each time System Configure is launched.

When the full security model for IntraVUE 2 is implemented it is intended that only the 'super' administrator can change this field. This could prevent remote users from browsing file names any place on the host computer.

Automatic Historical Backups provide a series of regular backups without further user actions. You may schedule the automatic backups to be done on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Whichever interval you select, you can also set how many of these backups will be kept.

Note: the time of the first backup is loosely based on when automatic backups is enabled and then will be on 24 hour intervals after that. There is not a control to set the time of backup at this time.

Once the number of backups has been reached, the oldest backup is deleted after a new backup.

The bottom section allows you to perform the 3 major database operations.

• Clear Database restores IntraVUE to the factory settings with no networks configured.
• Restore Database From File allows you to select a file to use as a database source and replaces all the current database data with the data from the new file.
• Backup Database To File saves all the curent data to a file you can name.

It is not necessary to stop IntraVUE for any of these operations.

Note: A restore does a clear first, so you do not need to manually do a clear before restoring a database.

After restoring a database, you will be asked if you want to be in Off-Line mode. In Off-Line mode the scanner does not make changes to the database. If you restore a database from an earlier version of IntraVUE you can only be in Off-Line mode.

If you selected Off-Line mode and would like the scanner to start making changes, restore the database again and don't select Off-Line mode.
