Manually Backing up and Restoring Hub Servers
NOTE: You may only restore a DSView software hub server with a backup archive made using an identical
DSView management software version. For example, you may not restore a hub server running DSView
management software version 3.1 using a backup archive made with DSView management software 3.0.
If your DSView management software is installed on a Windows based operating system, you may
manually create a backup of your hub server. You may create the backup using one of the
following methods:
• From a command line in an MS-DOS window.
• Using the Backup and Restore Utility delivered with the DSView software. The backup is
saved as a .zip file containing the files needed to restore the DSView management software.
Hub server backups may also be automatically created as a task within the DSView software. See
Managing Tasks on page 244 for more information.
Client sessions will be temporarily disconnected during a manual backup. The sessions will be
automatically reconnected when the backup is completed. If you use the Backup DSView database
and system files task, client sessions will not be temporarily disconnected. See Managing Tasks on
page 244 for more information.
To manually back up or restore a hub server using a command line:
NOTE: This procedure requires DSView software administrator privileges.
1. Select Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt. A command prompt window
will open.
