Chapter 5 | Administering FileMaker Server 55

Scheduling database backups

Use the FileMaker Server Schedule assistant to create a scheduled task to:

1 back up all hosted databases

1 back up hosted databases that are in a specified folder

1 back up a specified database

To create a scheduled task for backing up databases, choose the Admin Console Schedules

pane, click

, and choose Create a Schedule. Then, choose Back up databases, and specify

whether you want to back up hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule. You can also select

the maximum number of database backups you want to keep for a scheduled backup.

Database backups are saved in the default backup folder or in a folder that you specify. You can

specify the default backup folder on the Admin Console Database Server > Folders tab.

Note If you are backing up a database to a volume that supports Windows ReFS, see “Creating

a backup to a Windows ReFS volume” on page 55 for more information.

When FileMaker Server backs up a database, it copies the database while it is active. Users can

continue to make modifications. When the copy is complete, the database is paused to

synchronize backup files with the current database and then the database is resumed. You can

set options to verify the backup, save a clone of the database without the data, and send email

notifications to clients.

Using progressive backup

To enable progressive backup and specify the folder for progressive backup files, choose the

Admin Console Database Server > Folders tab. For Progressive Backup Folder, select Enable

progressive backups. Enter the number of minutes for Save interval, and enter the location of

the progressive backup folder.

Creating a backup to a Windows ReFS volume

FileMaker Server can make full backups on any local volume that supports Windows Resilient File

System (ReFS); however, the backup process may take more time and require more disk space.

Note Creating backups on remote ReFS volumes is not supported. For more information, see

FileMaker

Server Help.

When backing up a database, FileMaker Server checks if the backup volume uses ReFS. If the

file is not being backed up to a ReFS volume, FileMaker

Server checks if the selected databases

have changed since the last time that scheduled backup ran. For each scheduled backup task,

FileMaker

Server creates a full copy of the databases that have changed and creates hard links

to the backed up databases without any changes.

Because ReFS doesn’t support hard links, FileMaker Server must create a full backup even if the

hosted database file is identical to the most recent backup file.
