Backing up your Directory database in the SV Control Panel - SV Control Panel | Streamvault

To make configuring your system easier after a hardware upgrade, or to restore your configurations after a system failure, you can safely back up your Directory database and configuration files using backup and restore.

1. In the SV Control Panel, click the Configuration tab.
2. Under Backup/Restore Directory and configurations, click Backup wizard > Next.
3. On the Backup method page, select either Cloud or Local, and then click Next.
   • Cloud. If you selected Cloud, do the following:
     1. On the Authentication page, enter either your System ID or GTAP credentials to authenticate the backup.
        NOTE: After you have entered your credentials the first time, you will not be asked again for future backups.
     2. On the Security page, select one of the following two options:

        Let Genetec manage my security

        You do not need to provide a password. The backup cloud service from Genetec Inc. encrypts your data.

        Use my own password

        You must create and remember your own password to use later for the encryption of your backup files.

        IMPORTANT: If you lose or forget your password, it is not possible for Genetec Inc. to recover the lost password.

   • Local. If you selected Local, do the following:
     1. On the Destination folder page, enter a name for the backup and navigate to the folder where you want to store the backup.
     2. On the Security page, create a password to encrypt your backup file. You can also select Do not encrypt my backup, although it is not recommended.
4. Follow the rest of the steps in the wizard to complete your backup.
