Nuance Management Center Server Installation and Configuration Guide
About database backups
If you are hosting your own NMC server on-premise, database backups occur on a regular basis at scheduled
intervals automatically. The backup process places backup files in the C:\NMSDBBACKUP folder on the
database server by default, unless you specified a different drive and directory during installation. The backup
includes database objects, like sites and groups, and includes the Windows communication foundation
service logs generated for each user account. Backups occur on the following schedule:
l Transaction log backup—Hourly
l Differential database backup—Daily at 2AM
l Full database backups—Weekly at 2AM
The database server retains one month of backups on disk. To retain more data, you must copy the files to
another location before the end of the month. The backup process purges files older than one month.
Disabling automatic database backups
Optionally, you can choose to disable the automatic backups and manage database backups yourself outside
Nuance Management Center. To disable automatic backups:
1.
From the NMC menu button ( ), select System Settings.
The System Settings dialog box opens.
2. In the General section, select the Disable scheduled NMS database backups check box.
3. Click Save.
