CHAPTER 2: GENERAL AND ADVANCED ADMINISTRATION 39
Appliance Database Administration
This page allows you to clean out unnecessary or unused information stored in the database,
including node information, events, outages, etc. These operations are necessary if you would like
to purge some of the data and start over with a clean database.
You will not lose any management information if you recreate your database but the CC-NOC
will need to stop its management services and web user interface while the database is
unavailable.
Note: Before using this option, you should download a recent backup file – please see section
Data Backup and Restore for additional information.
1. Click on the Admin tab in the top navigation bar.
2. Click Advanced Administration.
3. Click Appliance Database Administration.

necessary if your database has become corrupted. You will likely only need to use this option
if advised by Technical Support. If you suspect an issue related to database corruption, please
contact Technical Support.
Data Backup and Restore
This page allows you to manipulate the backup files automatically generated by the CC-NOC in
addition to providing the ability to upload backup files for restoration purposes. Backup files are
created every 24-hours for compliance and auditing purposes.
This feature allows you to:
• Download backup files from the CC-NOC appliance to another computer.
• Upload a backup file from another computer to the CC-NOC.
• Install a backup file.
If you upload a backup file to the CC-NOC, you will be taken to the install page where you can
choose to apply the backup to the CC-NOC.
Download a Backup File
It is recommended to download a backup file on a periodic or regular basis.
