DNN Backup

NOTES:

• The "SMO 2008" build is just in case you are running SQL Server 2008 AND your environment allows enabling the module's  ‘Script Database Objects’ setting, AND you want to use that feature.
   
• If your current version of DNNBackup is previous to 4.3.2, you must uninstall the previous version before installing this one, because the module's name was changed to avoid conflicts with UrlScan (an IIS Server add-on) on some servers.
   
• Be sure to verify in Configuration > License Key and Details, your " Maintenance Expiration Date" before upgrading the module. If this date is previous to the date of the release to be installed, once installed the module will not work.
   
• IMPORTANT: version 5.0.1 (August 2010) changed the way scheduled backups run:
  
  • Configure the schedule runner:
    Depending on your needs, having it running once a day could be fine. If you want the backup to run a specific time, or you have many scheduled backups configured to run at different times, you better configure the ‘schedule runner’ to run e.g. every 1 hour or so.
  • Create your schedule(s) backups:
    a) On the 'Configuration > Database Backup Settings' page, click on the “Add new schedule' link found in the 'Scheduled Backups' section to create and configure a new scheduled backup.
    b) If you want the backup to perform also a files backup, on the 'Configuration > Files Backup Settings' page, click on the edit pencil image next to the just created scheduled job and edit its file-related settings.
  Note: You can create schedule(s) for just database, just files or both, with any combination of settings for each one, and also defining independent Offsite backup options for each one.
