Backups

The Backups section allows to view as files and folders and also save locally contents of Dr.Web Server critical data backup copies.

During backup, the following objects are saved: repository settings, configuration files, encryption keys, certificates, embedded database backup.

Dr.Web Server critical data backup copies are saved in the following cases:

As a result of the Back up critical server data task execution according to the Dr.Web Server schedule.

As a result of back up when running the Dr.Web Server executable file from the command line with the backup switch. This command is described in details in the Appendices documents, in the H3.5. Backup of Dr.Web Server Critical Data.

View Information on Backups

To view information on the backup, select the object related to the necessary backup in the hierarchical tree. Backups are placed in the tree according to the directories of their storage: the default folder (var/opt/drwcs/backup for Dr.Web Server under UNIX system-based systems and C:\DrWeb Backup for Dr.Web Server under Windows OS) and all paths to backup storage specified in the Dr.Web Server schedule tasks. If there is a blank field specified in tasks of Dr.Web Server under Windows OS, the following folder will be used by default: C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server\var\backup.

Only the backups stored inside the Dr.Web Server folder will be available for view.

When selecting backup directories or files, the properties panel with the following information on the object is opened: Type, Size (for separate file only), Creation date and Modification date.

icon-db-backup Backup—back up the Dr.Web Server critical data.

icon-repository-export Export—save the backup of selected object to the computer on which the Control Center is opened.
