Backups

Backups are queued from FiveOps and performed by the Windows backup agent.

Backup Types

FiveOps supports:

  • Config
  • Resources
  • Full server
  • Database
  • Manual labels

Backup Statuses

Backups can be:

  • Scheduled
  • Running
  • Completed
  • Failed
  • Verified

File Backups

File backups create zip archives from the configured source path.

The agent checks:

  • Source exists
  • Source size
  • Available disk space
  • Output folder access

Database Backups

Database backups use MySQL/MariaDB dump tools.

Configure:

{
  "databaseDumpToolPath": "",
  "databaseHost": "127.0.0.1",
  "databasePort": 3306,
  "databaseName": "",
  "databaseUser": "",
  "databasePassword": ""
}

If the dump tool is not on PATH, set databaseDumpToolPath.

Credentials stay on the server machine and are not stored in FiveOps.

Storage Provider

FiveOps records storage provider and location metadata so staff can track where backups live.

Best Practices

  • Test with a Config backup first.
  • Put backups on a drive with enough free space.
  • Verify important backups.
  • Keep database credentials restricted.
  • Do not store backups in public web folders.
