Backing Up Folders and Files 4
Because the BCMS Vu historical database and the reports you create using the
BCMS Vu software are stored on your hard drive, it is important for you to establish
a backup process to prevent loss of data should problems occur with your PC.
You can use a backup utility on your PC to back up the BCMS Vu data and settings.
The information that you should back up includes the following:
●
The properties that you define for Historical Reports, Real-Time Reports, and
Wallboard Displays
●
Your BCMS Vu configuration options
●
The historical database.
Archiving the historical database in this manner is useful because it lets you
keep historical data for as long as you want, yet lets you keep the size of the
historical database that you are using on a daily basis relatively small.
Note
If you want to perform periodic archives of the historical database so
that it is not so large, refer to “Backing up the Historical Database” on
page 4-23.
