372 Module 137: System Commissioning | Backing up and Restoring a Database
Backing up and Restoring a Database
The Configuration and Event databases are both Microsoft SQL Server databases. The databases are
completely independent from the Protege GX server and user interface. This means the services and software
can be completely removed without affecting the configuration or events databases. Similarly, the Protege GX
databases can be backed up and restored as required. It is even possible to backup a database from one
server and restore it to another server. This is very useful when running a test environment, or for
pre-programming a system at your office prior to deployment to the client site.
