Database Backup

Overview

The Database Backup configuration in ASTPP is a critical aspect that enables administrators to manually back up the central repository of information. In the context of a single-server setup, this feature is particularly essential. While ASTPP offers advanced auto data replication for cluster setups, the manual database backup provides a straightforward method for safeguarding crucial data.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Database Backup configuration is to empower administrators with the ability to create manual backups of the ASTPP database. This ensures the availability of a recent and restorable version of the database in case of unforeseen issues or system failures. Additionally, the feature supports the importation of previously exported data, offering a quick and efficient method to restore the platform to a functional state after encountering unexpected challenges.
