Purpose: The following information was created to assist with verifying whether a pre-configured DVMAX Backup is occurring on a daily basis.
If you're unsure how to configure your backup, you can refer to the following document for information on backup configuration - Backup Configuration for DVMAX
IMPORTANT
- Users are unable to use DVMAX during the backup process.
- If a user manually cancels a backup, the daily backups will NOT continue until a manual backup has been done.
DVMAX 7.0
- On the DVMAX Server Application window, below the datafile path location DVMAX will show a Last Backup Date and a Next Backup Date.
- If you do not see any backup dates listed, or there is an alert in red writing instead, please contact DVMAX Support at 800-950-5455 for assistance.
DVMAX 7.5 and higher
- On the DVMAX Server Application, click on the Maintenance tab.
- Make sure the Last Backup field shows either yesterday, or early today for a date/time.
- Make sure the Next Backup field shows later today, or early tomorrow for a date/time.
- Review the Needed Space and Available Space to make sure your hard drive has the room for additional backups (By default, DVMAX only keeps the last 3 backups)
- If you see any errors in red by the Backup information, please call DVMAX Support at 800-950-5455 for assistance.
