To Perform a Simple Backup in Bluechip

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. From within Bluechip, select BC Tools > HCN Backup. You will be prompted to exit Bluechip, after which you can proceed.
  2. The HCN Back/Restore Wizard appears.
  3. Ensure the Advanced Backup View check box is disabled.
  4. Click Next. You will be prompted as to whether you want to backup or restore. Select the backup option.
  5. Click Next. You will be prompted to select to back up one of the following:
    • HCN Database Data
    • HCN Files (if you select this option, proceed now to step 7)
    • All HCN Data
  6. Click Next. You will be prompted to enter the details of the database you want to backup.
    • Enter the Maintenance Username and Password, both of which are hcnbackup.
    • Select the name of the Server where your Bluechip data is located. To have Bluechip search your network for a list of available server, click the Lookup button.
    • Select the name of the Bluechip Database. To have Bluechip generate a list of available databases, click the Lookup button. Alternatively, you can backup all databases by enabling the associated check box.
  7. Click Next to continue. You will be prompted to choose whether to run the backup now, or schedule it for later.
    • If you want to run the backup now, enable the associated check box and the click Next. The backup commences. You will be prompted when it has completed. You have now completed the backup wizard, and do not need to continue to step 8.
    • If you want to schedule the backup to run later, ensure the Run Now check box is disabled. Continue now to step 8.
  8. In the HCN Task Scheduler choose the frequency of the schedule backups you want to perform from the options provided.
  9. Click Next. Depending which option you selected in step 8, you will now be provided with settings specific to that option, an example of which is shown below.
  10. Click Next when you are ready to continue. You will be prompted to enter your domain credentials, if necessary.

    If your network domain settings require that you have permission to run a scheduled task, enable the Run As check box and then enter the domain name, and your Username and Password for that domain. If you are unsure of this, please consult your Systems Administrator.
  11. Click Next.

Results

You will be prompted that the backup has completed. Note that this prompt indicates only that you have completed configuring the backup wizard. The backup itself will be performed as per the schedule you set up in step 9.
