How to Schedule or Create a Server Backup

Use the controls on this panel to schedule, create and manage Backups of Servers on the BIMcloud (BIMcloud Manager and BIMcloud Servers).

BIMcloud Server Backups include all Teamwork data: Projects, Libraries, and their snapshots; Activity Log, mail and Server configuration information.

BIMcloud Manager Backups include all the above data, and also includes Folders, Users and Roles.

Note: Server monitoring data (e.g. CPU, memory usage) are not included in the backup.

Only one copy of each Backup type (BIMcloud Manager and BIMcloud Server) is retained at a time. If a Backup process is unsuccessful, the last saved Backup version is retained until a new Backup is created to replace it.
