How to extract a database backup?
Warning
Before creating a new backup, please make sure there is enough free disk space for creating and storing the new backup. The amount of free disk space required depends on the usage of the TrendMiner installation. If you already have previous backups, you can get an indication by downloading a previous backup and checking its size. Backup sizes can range from a few megabytes to 10GB or more for large installations.
The following steps describe how to create a new backup, download it and upload it to the TrendMiner file server.
Open edge manager and sign in.
Navigate to 'MANAGEMENT' -> 'Backup and restore'
Click on 'Create backup
Confirm the backup creation. A notification is shown on the bottom right to confirm that backup creation has started.
Wait until the backup creation is finished. This can take from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the speed of the disk and the amount of data which needs to be backed up.
When the backup creation is finished and the task is on 'success' refresh the page to show the newly created backup in the list of backups.
To download the backup to your computer, click the options button of the created backup and select 'Download backup'.
