Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 - Dump default SQLite database

Thread needs solution

Hello all,

Currently, I am using Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 with the default SQLite database (C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TaskManager).

I backup the server (windows OS) with DataProtector (Acronis is for workstations) but Acronis services are started during the backup.

So, In order to avoid the corruption of the database, I would like to do a dump database SQLite periodically (by security).

Have you a procedure or tips (stop service,…) ? How do you do it ?

 

Thanks and regards

Romain

Hello Romain!

Not sure I understand your architecture, correct me if I'm wrong: Acronis AMS with the built-in SQLite DB runs on a windows Server, but this server itself is backed up by DataProtector. You want to avoid the corruption of Acronis' own database while you backup this server.

Probably the simplest is to shutdown acronis services before backup and restart them after. Obviously you'd need to schedule your acronis backups outside this window. The order in which to do this can be found in Maria's answer in this thread.

Hello,

Yes exactly ! It's my architecture.

In order to avoid the corruption of Acronis' own database. I wonder if I make a backup/dump of the database.

What do you think ? I didn't find any Acronis documentation about this subject.

What are the best practices ?

 

Thank you,

Best regards

Hello Romain!

I don't really see any other option than shutting down acronis. The other would be an application aware backup like Acronis can do with MSSQL or exchange databases, but I don't think there is one for SQLite. Haven't found support for SQLite for Data Protect either. Maybe acronis can do this for it's own db, if that were the backup solution for the server.

Ok, thank you Peter ! I will study the question.
