2.3.2.4.2 Backing Up Using the Backup All Option

Following are the steps to create a full backup on a Network Field basis:

1. Click Administration, and then Software Management, and then Upgrade.
2. Click Backup All.
3. On the Upgrade (Backup All) form all Networks Fields are selected for backup by default. Deselect any Network Fields that do not require a backup or alternatively, deselect Action and select any Network Fields required to be backed up. Take notice of the server list for all selected Network Fields. Confirm that all target servers are presented. If any target servers are not presented, click Cancel and review the server status.
4. In the Full backup options pane of the Upgrade (Backup All) form, click Exclude (to perform a full backup of the COMCOL run environment, excluding the database parts specified in the files) or Do Not Exclude (to perform a full backup of the COMCOL run environment without excluding any database parts, which is a longer procedure and produces larger backup files).
5. Click OK to run the back up procedure.

The backup all process saves server information in the background for all servers of a selected network field group that are in the proper state for backup.
