Enter backup options

In order to create scheduled backups and save them in the ARIS installation directory, you must enter the user data for the user with appropriate privileges.

Prerequisite

The default location for saving backup files was changed to a different folder on a physical drive to prevent that files stored in the default location are automatically deleted when you perform an update setup.

Procedure

  1. Click Administrator > Options. The Enter backup options dialog opens.
  2. Enter the user name superuser. This user account can be used to perform all scheduled backups.

    If you enter a different user name, make sure that this user has the required function privileges, so that all data can be backed up.

  3. Enter the associated password.
  4. Click OK.

Your entries have been saved. By default, backups are stored in the ARIS Server installation directory (..\server\bin\work\work_umcadmin_<s, m or l>\backup) on behalf of this user until the user credentials are changed.

If you have not yet defined a different folder on a physical drive, make sure to save the backup folder before starting an update setup. As the default backup folder is overwritten, all backups are lost.
