Click the Settings tab.
Click Appliance Backup & Restore on the sidebar.
Locate the backup profile, then select the backup location from the drop-down list.
Local—Saves the backup file to a local destination on the appliance.
Important
When the number of backup files on your appliance reaches the backup file limit set for your appliance, you need to delete old backups to continue performing local backups.
USB—Saves the backup file to a USB device connected to your local machine.
Remote—Saves the backup file to a remote server. This first creates a local backup and then transfers it to the remote server.
Note
See Database backup and restore introduction for a description of each backup profile.
If you selected Remote Server, enter the location of the remote backup file in the Remote URL or Server Location column:
scp://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/<directory>
where
<username>and<password>are remote server admin credentials,<hostname>is the remote server, and<directory>is the directory in which to save the backup file.Enter a custom prefix for the backup file name in the File Name Prefix column.
You can use the prefix to sort the list of the backup files.
(Optional) Clear the Encrypt checkbox to disable public and private key encryption for the backup operation. Each backup file is signed by default using the public and private key pairs. By default, encryption is always included in the backup.
Note
Encryption delays the backup operation. Backups are encrypted only using static keys.
Click Backup in the Action column.
A progress bar indicates the status of the backup operation.
Note
To cancel a database backup that is in progress, click the red X in the progress bar.
