Backing up the DS-System
We strongly recommend that you perform daily backups of the DS-System database and online storage data to an off-site location. By default, Windows DS-System performs a full database backup to the primary storage location once a day at 00:00 (midnight) and appends a differential dump to that database backup file every hour after.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you do not schedule additional Microsoft SQL Server maintenance jobs on the Microsoft SQL Server database, because the differential dumps depend on each previous differential backup.
If you have two or more DS-Systems, you can configure them for replication to achieve a constant backup. For more information, see
“Replication”.
