Backups and Service Types
Each CygNet service can be configured to automatically backup its important service, database, and configuration files. In CygNet there are two methods for performing a backup:
- Enabling and configuring appropriate keywords in the service configuration file for each service:
- BACKUP_PATH
- BACKUP_TIME
- COPY_BACKUP_TO
See Backup Keywords and Paths for definitions of these keywords.
- Schedule a backup using the MSS. See Scheduling a Backup with the MSS for more information.
