3.2.1 Using WebAdmin

You can use WebAdmin to perform backup and check the backup status.

Note

  • If backup is disabled for an instance, you will not be able to back up or restore the instance. Refer to "[Backup]" in "Creating an Instance" in the Installation and Setup Guide for Server for details.

  • If the data to be stored in the database is to be encrypted, it is necessary to enable the automatic opening of the keystore before doing so. Refer to "5.6.3 Enabling Automatic Opening of the Keystore" for details.

  • WebAdmin uses the labels "Data storage path", "Backup storage path" and "Transaction log path" to indicate "data storage destination", "backup data storage destination" and "transaction log storage destination" respectively. In this manual these terms are used interchangeably.

Backup operation

Follow the procedure below to back up the database.

  1. Select the database to back up

    In the [Instances] tab, select the instance to be backed up and click .

  2. Back up the database

    The [Backup] dialog box is displayed. To perform backup, click [Yes].
    An instance is automatically started when backup is performed.

Backup status

If an error occurs and backup fails, [Error] is displayed adjacent to [Data storage status] or [Backup storage status] in the [Instances] tab. An error message is also displayed in the message list.

In this case, the backup data is not optimized. Ensure that you check the backup result whenever you perform backup. If backup fails, [Solution] appears to the right of the error message. Clicking this button displays information explaining how to resolve the cause of the error. Remove the cause of failure, and perform backup again.
