Extend backup for LSM.AX2Go - LSM 3.6 Business + Prof.

LSM.AX2Go creates a folder with its own database for each new instance.

The LSM database itself (lsmdb.add) is usually located in a different directory. The script that backs up the LSM database therefore does not cover your LSM.AX2Go (also see Backing up the database automatically).

Consequently, you need to adapt the script:

  1. Before backing up, ensure that all services accessing the database to be backed up have been terminated (including LSM.AX2GoSvc).
  3. Make sure that you also back up all instance folders (or the entire C:\ProgramData\SimonsVoss\LSMAX2Go folder).
  4. It is advisable to compress each instance folder into a zip file.

NOTE

notice

Removing an instance creates zip backup

As soon as the LSM.AX2GoSvc service is removed, a zip file containing the backup of the removed service/instance is automatically created in the C:\ProgramData\SimonsVoss\LSMAX2Go\backup folder.

You can use the zip files contained in this folder to restore an instance (see Restore instance).

Contents of a backup zip file

The zip file contains the instance folder with its subdirectories and files.
