Log Backup Management and Archiving
Single Connect has a backup and archiving script, which should be installed in the Single Connect server.
This feature is optional and runs as a script in the Single Connect server. In some cases, the customer may choose to manage this activity in a centrally managed application.
Data on the Single Connect database is mainly divided in 2 categories: configuration and logging files. The script will handle these tables independently and backs them up separately.
If there are disk space restrictions, data can be stored for a limited time frame, such as 3 or 6 months. The script also sweeps old data that exceeds the defined time frame to conserve disk space, allowing the system to store recent data and prevent possible data loss.
The customer must decide on the data storing timeframes:
- the time frame to keep the live data in the Single Connect database.
- the time frame to keep the backed-up data in storage.
Description | Expected Duration Sample |
|---|---|
Keeping live data in DB | 150 days |
Keeping backed up data in Storage | 365 days |
