How do I enable automatic database backup?

On the CurrentWare console, you can configure CurrentWare to backup the database periodically.

  1. Go to Tools > Database Backup Scheduler
  2. To turn it on hit the checkmark beside Enable Scheduler.
  3. Select a path to store the database backup.
  4. Set the schedule frequency and time of the backup.

The Database Backup Scheduler automatically backs up the CurrentWare database (CWNPSQL or CWNPFB.CWD depending on your database) at a scheduled time. You can choose between backing up the database on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

The databases will be backed up into the following default directory: 

Legacy Firebird Database: \Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare\cwServer\Backup\ 
SQL Server Database: \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MYPROD\MSSQL\Backup

Up to a maximum of 10 databases will be backed up into the folder. It will keep the newest 10 databases and automatically delete the older ones. You can perform a one-time back up by clicking on the “Run Backup Now” button.
