Back Up the DPS Database

Use the Backup Database utility to make a full backup copy of the DPS database and FILESTREAM database.

This applies if you use the DPS on-premise product.

Prerequisite: Your SQL Server administrator must create a backup device before you use this utility.

To back up the database:

  1. In the Navigation pane in the desktop application, select Utilities > Backup Database.
  2. In the Backup Device field on the Backup Database dialog box, select a backup device.
  3. To remove all the files on the backup device before you back up your database, select the Initialize Backup Device check box. This allows you to store only the current database files on the backup device. This does not remove the files on other backup devices that you have; it removes files only from the device that you entered in the Backup Device field.
  4. Click Backup.
