How do backups work for Voyager environments hosted by Ex Libris?

- Voyager backups are run nightly.

- Backups are typically scheduled to run overnight during off-peak hours.

- To determine the exact time when backups are run examine the backup log files: /usr/local/scAgent/logs/

- The time required to make a snapshot is dependent on a number of variables and will vary from site to site, as well as from day to day.

- The time required for previous backups can be determined from the backup log files: /usr/local/scAgent/logs/

- Daily backups for the previous 14 days.

- Weekly backups are maintained for the previous 10 weeks.

Where does Ex Libris keep backups?

- 7 days of snapshots are kept on the server for quick recovery.

- 14 days of snapshots plus 10 weekly snapshots are maintained off site from the Voyager server.

- Jobs which require a connection to the database should be avoided while a snapshot is being taken.
