KentixONE offers the option of creating automatic backups for cyclical data backup. These are divided into a configuration backup and a backup of the measured value history.
The configuration backup contains all the information required to restore the system after replacing the main device or resetting to factory settings.
The history backup contains the measured value recording of all devices in the system.
The time (when the backup is created) and the storage location (where) can be configured. Suitable storage locations are SD cards, which must be inserted into the device, or shared folders in the local network.
The SMB (Server Message Block) network protocol is used to save the backup in a folder on a network drive. The versions of the protocol are used in descending order. First, an attempt is made to save the backup with SMB 3. If this fails, it is repeated with version 2 and then with version 1.
If a network drive is selected as the storage location, the IP address and the share name (name under which the folder is shared in the network) must be entered. If the backup is to be saved in a subfolder on the network drive, the path to the storage location must also be specified. It is essential to ensure that the path with “/” is used as the path separator. If authentication is required for memory access, a user name and password can be entered for authentication.
Configuration backup
If the automated configuration backup is active, an e-mail notification can be sent to all system administrators when it is created.
Automatic backups are performed daily, whereby the time can be freely selected.
