Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference Backup and Recovery
6.1.3.2 Write to ODBC Database
Back up the database using the database's backup utility.
6.1.3.3 Write to Windows Event Log
By default, Event Log entries are written to the Application log. However, you can configure
the entries to be written to another log. Check the audit configuration if you are unsure.
Important Note
The Event Log may be configured with a maximum size. When this size is
reached, the oldest entries may be overwritten by new ones. To check this,
view the Properties of the log in the Event Viewer. If older entries will be
overwritten, you will need to archive them before that occurs.
To archive an Event Log:
1. Select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. Double-click on Administrative Tools.
3. Double-click on Event Viewer.
4. Right-click on Application (or the correct log, if not Application).
5. Click on Save log file as...
6. Select a path and enter a filename.
7. Select a file format from the Type drop down list.
8. Click on the Save button.
Note
The Audit Log data is not required for system recovery purposes.
6.1.4 DPX files
The DPX files are normally provided on a floppy disk, which can be stored securely as a
backup. If you prefer another method of archive, copy the files to your preferred location. It is
important to keep the DPX file transport keys secure and preferably in a separate location to
the DPX files themselves.
6.1.5 Active Directory
6.1.5.1 Cold Backup
In many cases the SBR Plug-In will belong to an Active Directory domain that includes several
Domain Controllers. Replication should automatically occur between Domain Controllers,
providing simple data backup.
It is highly recommended, however, that you perform a 'cold' backup of the System State
Data, which includes the Active Directory repository. This will allow recovery if data is
corrupted and then replicated. For more information about backing up and restoring System
