EBMS Data Backup

EBMS Data Backup

Eagle Business Software recommends using an enterprise level backup solution to back up the EBMS data folder. This is important because inexpensive backup solutions have a potential to prevent EBMS from working properly by holding files open. It is also recommended that the full data set is backed up regularly and that this happens at a scheduled off-peak time to minimize system performance impact.  Contact your IT provider or our partner Landis Technologies at 717-733-0793 If you need help finding an enterprise level back-up solution.

EBMS does not provide a backup utility.

Complete the following steps to manually backup EBMS:

  1. The first step is to find the server location of the main EBMS data folder is located. Do not confuse with the local client EBMS client software.  Review Server Manager > Overview to locate all EBMS data sets.  

  2. Verify that the data directory contains many *.DBF, *.CDX, and *.FPT files.

  3. Verify that the current data directory is located by verifying the date modified setting for main EBMS files.   

  4. Copy the entire data directory to a backup location.
