Database Backup settings

You can specify that an OLAP database is automatically backed up, and the minimum interval between backups. The maximum interval is 7days.

You can back up the database manually at any time that an automatic backup is not in progress.

Note: When the system is under a high load, a backup might be queued and executed only after other operations are finished.

The backups are stored in the location that is specified on the Directories tab of the Farm Expert.

Select Dashboards > OLAP > Save and Backup.
The Database Backup widget shows the time at which the next backup is scheduled and the time elapsed since the last backup. The Last Backup field does not distinguish between manual and automatic backups.
