Back up the DSView Software
Using the DSView software backup and restore utility or the command line, back up the hub
and each spoke server. The backup includes the database, plug-ins, appliance templates and
system properties. You may manually create a backup of your hub server. Two methods are
available:
• From a command line in an MS-DOS window. This method may be used for DSView
software hub servers on supported Windows® systems.
• Use the Backup and Restore system task located in the DSView software WebUI. The
backup is saved as a .zip file containing the files needed to restore the DSView software.
This method may be used for DSView software hub servers on supported Windows®
systems only.
Client sessions will be temporarily disconnected during a manual backup. The sessions will be
automatically reconnected when the backup is completed.
Manual backup and restore procedures require DSView software administrator privileges.
To manually back up a hub server using a command line on a supported Linux
system:
1. Access the command prompt on your system.
2. Change directories to the directory where the DSView software is installed, which is
typically /usr/local/dsviewserver/bin.
3. To backup the DSView software hub server, enter DSViewBackupRestore.sh -backup -
archive <archive name> -passwd <password> -overwrite.
For example, entering the following in a command prompt window will create a backup named
dbasebackup.zip with the password test1.
DSViewBackupRestore.sh backup -archive dbasebackup.zip -passwd test1
To manually back up a hub server using the Backup and Restore Utility dialog box
on a supported Windows system:
1. In the Start menu on your desktop, select Start - Programs - Avocent DSView - Backup and
Restore Utility. The DSView Backup/Restore Utility dialog box will appear.
2. Click Backup Database to a file.
3. To password-protect the backup file, click Enabled and type a password in the Password
field.
