Accessing Portal backups

To access Portal backups, select Discover > Manage Portal from the Portal menu. In the left navigation panel, click Backup & Restore.

You can perform the following types of backups:

  • Scheduled Backups: On a daily basis, the Portal can be configured to perform a backup of event model data. See Configuring Backup Settings.
  • On-Demand Backups: As needed, you can execute backups through the Portal at any time. Managing backups.
Through the Portal Management page, you can use a backup to restore the event model to a previously saved state.
Note:
  • This backup feature cannot be used to backup the event data model and restore it across versions of Discover. To migrate events across Discover systems and versions, you must use the import/export features of the Event Manager. See "Manage Events - Import-Export Tabs" in the Unica Discover Event Manager Manual.
  • This backup feature does not archive any data captured or extracted from sessions. That data is stored in the Discover databases, which must be backed up through the Discover Database Manager or SQL Server Management Studio. For more information on performing backups through Discover, see Backing Up Discover.
