The Scheduled Archive page (Settings icon > Database Settings > Scheduled Archive) controls the automatic archiving and copying of the NetMRI network database. The database can also be manually archived. For more information, see Archiving the NetMRI Database.
When enabled, the automatic process creates an archive of the NetMRI network database and copies it to one or two servers that support SCP, or to another NetMRI system.
To configure scheduled network database archiving, do the following:
- Go to the Settings icon > Database Settings > Archive Database.
- Choose Enable automatic database archiving.
- Select the Recurrence Pattern (Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
- Select the Minute to Start.
- For weekly archiving, select the Execution Time and select the day or days of the week.
- For each remote system, specify the following:
- Hostname/IP Address
- Port
- Username
- Password
- Use SSH keys: Select this to use SSH keys instead of passwords. For more information about SSH keys, see ssh-key commands.
- Directory
Include date in filename: Check to date-stamp the archive file name.
Note
To archive the database to another NetMRI appliance, enter admin as the Username and enter Backup as the Directory.
- To test the configuration, click Test Connection.
- If the test is successful, click Update.
