H5.5. Backup of Dr.Web Enterprise Server Critical Data

Top  Previous  Next

The following command creates backup copies of critical Server data (database contents, Server license key, private encryption key, Server configuration key, and Dr.Web Control Center configuration key):

drwcsd -home=<path> backup [<directory> [<quantity>]] – copy critical Server data to the specified folder. -home sets the Server installation catalog. <quantity> is the number of copies of each file.

Example for Windows OS:

C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Server\bin>drwcsd -home="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Server" backup C:\a

The copies are stored in the .dz format unpackable with gzip and other archivers. After unpacking all the files, except for the database contents, are ready to use. To restore the data, the database contents can be imported from the backup to another database of the Server by means of the importdb switch (see p. Restoring the Database of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite).

Starting from the 4.33 version, ESS regularly stores backups of critical information to \var\Backup of the Server installation catalog. For that purpose a daily task is included to the Server schedule, which performs this function. If such task is missing, it is strongly recommended to create it. Particularly there will be no backup critical data task, if the initially installed (and then consequently upgraded) Server version is 4.32.
