tomedo Cloud Backup
Secure and Synchronize tomedo Backups with the luckycloud Solution
luckycloud also offers a secure cloud storage solution for tomedo users. In the following article, you will learn how to synchronize your backups with luckycloud.
Explanation of the tomedo Backup Tab
This tab is used for creating and reading backups.
The following controls assist you in this process:
-
Security Directory: This is where the tomedo® backups are stored. Each backup consists of four components: the database, the tomedo® client, and the tomedo® server are stored in a folder named after the timestamp of creation. The attachments are secured in the "Files" folder.
-
Copy Backup to Hard Drives: If this option is selected, the entire backup directory is copied to up to two additional hard drives. This allows for various backup plans, such as creating an external backup.
-
Automatic Ejection: If one of the storage media is a removable drive, it will be safely ejected after copying the backup.
-
Copy Only Current Backup: If this option is selected, only the most important current data is copied to the external storage medium. This includes only the absolutely necessary information. Older backups, which are important for recovery in emergencies, are not copied. If this option is not selected, the entire content of the local backup directory is fully synchronized with the external storage medium (recommended approach).
-
Encrypt Backup with Password: If this option is selected, the backup is stored encrypted on the removable drive. This option is currently not available.
-
Drives: Here you can specify the drives for the additional backup. For network drives or removable media, an attempt is made to automatically integrate them into the system.
-
Create Backup: This option creates a current backup. The tomedo® server does not need to be stopped for this, and users can continue to work normally.
-
Backup Log: Logs the process of creating or reading a backup.
-
Source: Here you can select a source for importing backups.
-
Select Backup: Here you can select the backup you want to import. Once you have made your choice, the paths to the four backup components are automatically filled in (if available).
-
Delete Newer Attachments: If this option is selected, attachments that are newer than the selected backup will be deleted.
-
Insert Backup: This imports a selected backup. The database administrator's password is required for this. Important: When importing a backup, all data present after the creation of the selected backup will be removed from the database!
Auto-Backup Tab
This tab is used to configure automatic backups. The following controls assist you in this:
-
Create Backups Automatically: If this option is selected, backups are created automatically. We strongly recommend activating this option.
-
Delete Backups Automatically: If this function is activated, old backups are automatically deleted. A system is used that ensures at least one backup per month, one per week for the last four weeks, and one per day for the last seven days is retained. Additionally, the last 20 backups are generally stored.
-
Interval: Specifies the interval at which automatic backups should be performed.
-
Start Time: Specifies the start time for automatic backups. For example, if you choose 01:00 as the start time and 6h as the interval, a backup will be performed every day at 1:00, 7:00, 13:00, and 19:00.
-
Backup List: Here you can choose whether the stored backups should be displayed in the local backup directory or on an external storage medium.
-
Clean Backups: This starts the cleanup operations in the selected directory. A three-generation principle is also applied here.
-
Stored Backups: This shows you a list of all stored backups.
