Automatic History Backup
The NCS can be automatically setup to back up a history file when the NCS reaches a user
selectable number of entries, with ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 events. In addition, the history
database can be backed up any day of the month, ranging from 1 to 28.
The current history file will be saved to a file name made up of the current date with a “a” prefix,
denoting an automatic backup. If more the one backup has occurred in any given day, a “01” will
be added to the file. For example, “a061298-1-.his” indicates the first file backed up automatically
on June 12th, 1998. A “a061298-2.his” file indicates that a second file was backed up that day.
The path and filename of the old history file will be saved in the new history file. All history files
are backed up in the \{install}\HistoryArchives directory.
