Backing up Kronodoc data and files

In Kronodoc 5.0, the data is stored in two locations; properties (metadata) is stored in the database, and attachment files are stored in the server file system.

It is recommended to back up all data once per week. To cause as little disturbance as possible, this should be done when the Kronodoc is least used (e.g. on the weekend, or during the night). An incremental backup should be done daily.

To back up the Kronodoc database, use the standard backup tools provided by the Oracle database server. To back up files stored in Kronodoc 5.0, use the standard file system backup tools on Kronodoc server.

Please remember to make backups even when using RAID, as that alone is not adequate for ensuring the preserving of data.

For full backup, the system should be stopped to ensure consistency in the backup (i.e. the synchronization between the file system and the database). Doing otherwise may lead to inconsistencies, depending how much Kronodoc is used during the backup process. For further details, see section Off-line/on-line backup.
