FUNCTIONALITY 

The Cloud Administration Portal, among other activities, allows you to make backups of current databases as well as restore previous databases backups.  

PREREQUISITES 

In order to do both these operations, you should have access to the Cloud Administration Portal as well as to an Administrator user in the application. 

The Database you want to work with should be in a Cloud environment.  

Important note: to perform the action in the safest way it is better not to have any users connected to the server in order to avoid having procedure or data readers running.  

HOW TO PERFORM A DATABASE BACKUP 

In order to perform a database backup, you should: 

  • Access Board Cloud Administrator Portal.  

The link is formed in the following way: https://name_of_the_DB-type_of_instance.board.com:8443  

Where: 

  • Name of the DB depends on the customer name 
  • Type of instance: s1,s2,sn for Developing environment and c1,c2,cn for Production environment.

  • Insert the Administrator credentials in the pop-up window. The credentials should match the ones used in the application (Web Instance log-in credentials), not the ones used to access the Cloud Administration Portal.
