The Global Configuration of SwyxServer Backing up the SwyxWare Database Backing up the database during an update
 
Backing up the database during an update
The Configuration Wizard automatically updates the existing local database of an older SwyxWare installation. In addition, a backup copy of the existing database is made before the update takes place. You will find this backup copy in the SwyxWare standard backup directory.
If the database is on a different computer, then please back this up before the update.
* 
Please note that in a SwyxWare for Data Center installation it is not possible to do an automatic database backup before an update by the Configuration Wizard. The administrator must back up the database himself before an update, using the backup systems of the database server.
 
Please refer to the Knowledgebase for more advice on database maintenance.
