Automatic Backups
You can conveniently schedule your backups using the Schedule Backup feature in Docsvault. This functionality allows you to set up automated backups to run periodically, much like the 'Task Scheduler' in Windows.
Setting Schedule for Automatic Backups
•Navigate to Repository > Backup in Docsvault Server Manager dialog box.
•In the Schedule Backup section, select the backup location on the local or network drive.
•You have the option to schedule both Full and Increment backups.
Full backup:
A full backup encompasses all files and metadata within the repository up to the current date. Typically, you perform a full backup initially when creating a backup set, followed by weekly or monthly intervals.
Incremental Backup:
An incremental backup captures only files created or modified since the last full backup. It is recommended to perform incremental backups daily or periodically between full backups.
Maintaining a consistent backup location is essential to ensure accurate backup set creation
•To schedule Full backup job, click Create Full Backup button. The system will automatically schedule the backup for 10 PM every Sunday.
•Similarly, you can also create scheduler for incremental backups.
•Backup operations in Docsvault are executed without impersonation, running under the SYSTEM account. If your backup location is set to a network share, please ensure that the SYSTEM account is able to write to that location. •The default backup schedule and impersonation can be changed directly from the Windows Task Scheduler. |
To delete the backup job, simple click on the delete ( X ) button.

Purging Old Backup Sets:
You can set to delete old backup files created by the Docsvault backup scheduled job to save space. Each time a full backup is performed, a new backup set folder is created and labeled with the date & time of backup, and any incremental backups are then added to that new folder.
Enter '-1 ' to disable automatic deletion of backup sets.
Split Backup
You have an option to Split the backup into multiple files. Splitting database backups helps save space and run your backup more efficiently.
For example: Entering '2' will split the backup file into 2 parts. Enter '1' to create single backup file.
