34.1 Backups

Info
Backups

There is an option to automatically perform a backup on a daily basis when the user logs out of the system. The Device Engine, if running, can also be configured to perform a daily backup at a set time every day. It can be configured to keep only the latest files if disk space is a concern.

To make a backup of the data manually, simply click on ‘Action’ then ‘Backup Database’ from the menu bar. You will have the options of a ‘Standard JTime’, ‘Supplementary’, ‘Zip and Email’, ‘Full System’ or ‘Backup to specific location’. 

The Standard option will include the primary JTime database and current logs.  

Supplementary backs up only the JT_Supp database.

Full System will backup all Jarrison databases (entire log history and supplementary) in one package.

The zipped backup will reduce the size of the backup file, which is recommended.

The zip and email feature enables you to send the backup file off site via email.

There is also an option to backup to ‘JTime Cloud’, this will upload the backup file to a secure Jarrison Systems server. This option is only available to the Administrator account.
