Milestone recommends that you make regular backups of your system configuration as a disaster recovery measure. While it is rare to lose your configuration, it can happen under unfortunate circumstances. Luckily, it takes only a minute to back up your existing configuration. Regular backups also have the added benefit that they flush your Microsoft® SQL Server’s transaction log.
If you have a smaller setup and do not need scheduled backups, you can back up your system configuration manually. For instructions, see Manual backup and restore of system configuration.
The management server stores your system's configuration in a database. When you back up/restore management server(s), make sure that this database is included in the backup/restore.
Requirements for using scheduled backup and restore
Microsoft® SQL Server Management Studio, a tool download-able for free from their website.
Apart from managing SQL Server databases, the tool includes some easy-to-use backup and restoration features. Download and install the tool on your management server.
