Backing up the SwyxWare Database
You can back up the database, or restore a previously backed up database.
This procedure is not possible in an installation with a separated database (recommended for SwyxWare for Data Center), as here the database is usually not installed locally on the same computer. In this case, the provider must configure a backup by using the SQL server mechanisms.
You can use the program "IpPbxConfig.exe" to back up the SwyxWare database locally and restore it at a later time. You'll find the program in the SwyxWare program directory. Backing up the database is done by making an entry the command line:
IpPbxConfig.exe /backup [/file “<Backup File>“]
If you call the parameter "/backup“ without the parameter "/file", a database backup will be generated in the SwyxWare standard backup directory. A unique file name will be assigned automatically (e.g. "IpPbxBackup-2010-10-18-15-56-07.dat"). If you specify a file name without a path in the parameter '"/file", the file is likewise written to the above directory. When an absolute path is input, the file is stored as specified. A file of the same name already present is not overwritten.
To restore the SwyxWare database, enter in the command line
IpPbxConfig.exe /restore /file “<Backup File>“
To stop Swyx services automatically and restart them automatically after the backup is restored, use the additional parameters "/stop" and "/start".
| Note that the database server must have writing access on the directory used for the backup, and reading access for the recovery of the database. |
