CMS Maint backup

[NPThomas]

Hi,

Can someone just confirm for me that manually performing a maintenance backup on CMS during off peak working hours shouldnt have a detremental effect to CMS users. Im sure Ive read somewhere that it may effect performance slightly but shouldnt boot people out or cause too many issues.

Its just on the odd occasion that the backup fails at 4am, when its set to run, and then we would need to manually kick it off at approx 8.30.

Thanks in advance..

Nat

I have often run maint backup during the day with no problems. Assuming you don't have an old version! The backup used to have to stop CMS reporting for a time, but that may have just been the cmsadm backup.

Great, thanks. Well Im running it now and no issues so far. Tried a realtime report and it updated normally so im assuming it is okay. Fingers crossed. Dont want any issues on a Friday!!!

I'm sure that any one already logged onto CMS is ok to continue working, but you may find that no new loggins are allowed until you've finished.

thanks guys...

I do have an error now saying

Error Code Date Occurred Time Occurred # Times Occur ACD Severities Description
1710 18/07/2008 10:09 1 1 INFO BACKUP Process in need of service. Please check the Backup screen.

Backup screen says Waiting for ackowledgment and Ive looked at the docs whch say that Supervisor should bring up an ackowledgment screen but it hasnt.

Not sure what to do now???

This is probably why it failed at 4am.
Maybe just needs a cleaning tape.
