Configuring a scheduled backup
Follow these steps to set up a routine/repeated backup.
1. If you are not backing up to a network location but using a USB hard drive:
a. Connect the USB hard drive to a USB port on the Content Server.
b. Log in to the Content Server using
Remote Desktop and make sure that the USB hard
drive appears in My Computer. If it does not, go to Start > Administrative Tasks >
Computer Management and map a drive to a letter that does not conflict with those
already in use. If necessary use the Windows help.
2. Open the Backup and restore wizard:
o Through the web interface: using Internet Explorer go to Management settings >
Windows server > Maintenance > Backup.
Note that Internet Explorer's security settings may prevent the necessary Active X scripts
from running so that you cannot access the Windows Server administration interface or
some of its tools. To overcome this issue, add the URL of the Content Server to the trusted
sites in your browser: go to Tools > Internet Options. Then select the Security tab and
click Trusted sites. Click Sites, enter the Content Server's URL and click Add. Click
Close and OK.
o Using Remote Desktop: Log in to the Content Server using
Remote Desktop and go to
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup.
