Backing Up Global Projects
Backing Up Global Projects
Backing up projects regularly is good practice in any environment, including Global projects. With a Global project, extra attention has to be given to any restoring process that is carried out. The following guidelines are outlined in relation to backing up Global projects:
•
Backup all files at all location regularly.
•
When restoring a project, be aware that the user may be able to restore project databases by using Global’s Recover functionality. This may give the opportunity to minimise work loss.
•
Use the backups for a location only for that location. (In some cases the only option may be to use backups from other locations. In this case, be aware of the implication it could have on the amount of work lost.)
Remember, Global database (for example abcglb) at the Hub is the ‘master’ Global database. Back this up before carrying out any major Global administration work.
When using databases from backups, it is feasible for a secondary database to have newer sessions than a primary database. If so, at the next update, changes may be posted back from the secondary database to the primary database. If new sessions have been written at the primary location, this could cause corruption. Therefore make sure that their secondary database backups do not have newer sessions than the primary database.
To resolve this, it may be necessary to RECOVER some databases from the primary location after the restore.
