To Perform an Advanced 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 enabled.
  4. Click Next.
  5. In the HCN Backup (Advanced View) window, select the Database tab. If you want to include the Bluechip database in your backup, ensure the Database Backup check box is enabled.
  6. Enter the Maintenance Username of hcnbackup.
  7. Enter the Maintenance Password of hcnbackup.
  8. 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 Ellipsis.
  9. Select the name of the Bluechip Database. To have Bluechip generate a list of available databases, click Ellipsis. Alternatively, you can backup all databases by enabling the All Databases check box.
  10. (Optional) Enable the Verify Backup check box if you want the backup to be verified after completion.
  11. If you want to run the backup now, enable the associated check box and then click OK The backup commences. You will be prompted when it has completed. If you want to schedule the backup to run later, ensure the Run Now check box is disabled. Continue now to step 12.
  12. The HCN Task Scheduler appears.
  13. Choose the frequency of the schedule backup(s) you want to perform, form the options provided.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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 setup in step 9.
