Server Backups

Schedule or manually create backups of the BIMcloud Server or BIMcloud Manager

Use the Backups panel of the Servers pages (BIMcloud Server and BIMcloud Manager).



Enable BIMcloud backups in Server Configuration

The backup function for BIMcloud Server and/or BIMcloud Manager can work only if:

  1. you check the Create Server Backup box during the Configuration process, and

  2. you define a path for Server Backup Content during the Configuration process.

See Configure BIMcloud Server and Configure BIMcloud Manager.

Schedule Backup

On the Backups Panel of the Servers page:

Click Edit to choose a schedule for server backups (for either BIMcloud Server or BIMcloud Manager):

  • Don't Create: No backup will be created

  • Hourly: The backup will be created every certain number of hours, based on the settings you provide

  • Daily: The backup will be created at a set time every certain number of days, based on the settings you provide.

Click Save to save changes.

Create Manual Backup

On the Backups panel, click Create to back up the server at any time, regardless of any scheduled backup.



What’s included in backups?

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 backup and BIMcloud Server backup) is retained at a time. If a backup process is unsuccessful, the last saved backup is kept until a newbBackup is created to replace it.
