Back up database in encrypted form (ARIS Server Administrator)

The best time for encrypting databases is during backup.

However, you can also back up databases in encrypted form using ARIS Server Administrator.

Prerequisite

Your user account has been assigned the Database administrator function privilege in ARIS Administration.

Procedure

  1. Start ARIS Server Administrator and connect to an ARIS Server.
  2. Enter the following command:

    Syntax: backup <database name> <path to archive directory> -p <password> [<database name>]

    Example: backup database1 "c:\ARIS 9.0" -p DBADMIN database2

The database is backed up in the specified directory under the name you specified.

You can restore backup copies of databases on any tenant and thus restore the database to its state before these changes were made.

When restoring encrypted databases, you must enter the password you specified when creating the backup.
