Back up and restore galaxies

Periodically, you should back up your Galaxy. Backing up your Galaxy helps if you have a computer failure or other problem. If there is a failure, you can restore your Galaxy from the backup.

Use the Galaxy Database Manager to back up and restore your Galaxy. The Galaxy Database Manager is part of the suite of AVEVA System Management Console utilities.

The aaConfigSQL utility is another utility that you may need to use when restoring Galaxies. aaConfigSQL is used to set System Platform user permissions for SQL Server. In most cases, the default level of permissions is adequate for restoring Galaxies.

However, if you are restoring a Galaxy created with an older version of Application Server, you may need to change the permissions level.

See the section about SQL Server Rights Requirements in the System Platform Installation Guide for additional information about the aaConfigSQL utility.

To open the Galaxy Database Manager

• From the Start menu, navigate to the AVEVA folder, and then select Operations Control Management Console.

  See the Galaxy Database Manager documentation for more information about backing up or restoring your Galaxy.
