Quick Start

70 FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide
Uploading a database
Use the FileMaker Server Upload Database assistant to transfer FileMaker Pro database files from your computer’s
file system to FileMaker Server. You can copy database files from a Windows or Mac OS computer that is on the
same network as the FileMaker Server computer.
The Upload Database assistant copies the specified database files to a FileMaker Server folder and sets file
permissions and privileges so that you can access the databases after they are uploaded.
To start the Upload Database assistant, choose the Admin Console Server menu > Upload Database.
Note If any of your databases require a plug-in, see FileMaker Server Help for information about managing plug-ins.
Backing up databases
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, select Create a
Schedule from the Actions menu, and click Perform Action. Then, choose Back Up Databases, and specify whether
you want to back up hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule.
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 Sever > Default Folders tab.
