Important: Do not use third-party backup software on hosted FileMaker Pro databases. Backup software can damage open, hosted databases.
First, use FileMaker Server to make a backup copy of your database, then run your third-party backup software on the copy.
Make sure that the folder(s) containing the live FrameReady database files are excluded from the third-party backup software.
On the server computer, open the FileMaker Server Admin Console.
See: Opening the FileMaker Server Admin Console
Open the Backups tab.
By default, daily backups cover the past 7 days. Depending on the size of your FrameReady files, this may require several GB of storage.
By default, the backup folder will be located:
Windows:
C:/Program Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Data/Backups/
macOS:
Macintosh HD/Library/FileMaker Server/Data/Backups
By default, the backup will be verified for integrity after the files have been copied.
By default, the backup time will be set for 12:00pm each day (the server computer and software must be running for this feature).
By default, email notifications about the status of the backup will not be enabled.
Tip: We recommend enabling email notifications as it can alert you to potential problems.
Each daily backup is stored in a folder with a name similar to this: Daily_2016-12-25_2300
The format can be read as: Daily_[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]-[HH00]
You may point your cloud backup service to watch this folder:
Windows:
C:/Program Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Data/Backups/
macOS:
Macintosh HD/Library/FileMaker Server/Data/Backups
Depending on the size of your FrameReady files, this may require several GB of storage.
Do not enable incremental backups as these only store the changes and not the entire database. Doing so can make recovery more troublesome.
Do not point your cloud backup solution to watch or backup the live database files or folder. Doing so can result in file corruption and data loss.
