Eagle Business Software recommends using an enterprise level backup solution to back up the EBMS data folder. This is important because inexpensive backup solutions have a potential to prevent EBMS from working properly by holding files open. It is also recommended that the full data set is backed up regularly and that this happens at a scheduled off-peak time to minimize system performance impact. Contact your IT provider or our partner Landis Technologies at 717-733-0793 If you need help finding an enterprise level back-up solution.
EBMS does not provide a backup utility.
Complete the following steps to manually backup EBMS:
The first step is to find the server location of the main EBMS data folder is located. Do not confuse with the local client EBMS client software. Review Server Manager > Overview to locate all EBMS data sets.
Verify that the data directory contains many *.DBF, *.CDX, and *.FPT files.
Verify that the current data directory is located by verifying the date modified setting for main EBMS files.
Copy the entire data directory to a backup location.
