It is recommended to schedule each task on a different day, two hours after any backups are made. This will give each task enough time to complete and allow for a rollback via the backup if data is removed that is required.

UMS Server Backups

...

For the internal IGEL database, see IGEL Embedded Database.

Local Files

For UMS, the IGEL database is the most critical component that needs to be backed up, and this should be handled via a third-party application connected to your external database. However, some local directories should be backed up outside of UMS. These locations are noted below.

Directory

Usage

%INSTALL_DIR%/RemoteManager/rmguiserver/webapps/ums_filetransfer

Contains all transfer files deployed via UMS including Universal Firmware Packages, wallpaper files, icon files, and SSL certificates, etc.

UMS12 and later:

%INSTALL_DIR%/RemoteManager/rmguiserver/persistent/ums-appproxy

Contains OS 12 application packages for the local UMS Web Proxy

Note

By default the IGEL install directory (%INSTALL_DIR%) will be located in one of the locations below. If UMS was installed to a different directory, please update the path accordingly:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\IGEL\ or C:\Program Files(x86)\IGEL\

  • Linux: /opt/IGEL/

...

If you are using the IGEL embedded database, then you will want to schedule an additional administrative task in UMS to perform this action.

Notes

Database Backup

Creates a backup of the database, and other optional components.

  • Recommended to backup only the database, but you can also select the transfer files as well. Doing so may take a long time, and will create a larger backup file.

  • Backing up the server configuration is not required or recommended
