Back up and restore configuration

About back up and restore of configuration

Milestone recommends that you make regular backups of your system configuration (cameras,

schedules, views, and so on) as a disaster recovery measure. While it is rare to lose your

configuration, it can happen under unfortunate circumstances. Luckily, it takes only a minute to back

up your existing configuration.

Back up system configuration

The following describes how to back up your configuration in XProtect Enterprise 7.0. If you need

information about how to back up a configuration from an earlier version of the system, see Upgrade

from a previous version (see "Upgrading from one product version to another product version" on page

30).

In the following, we assume that you have not changed your system's default configuration path (see

"Default File Paths" on page 192), which is C:\Program Data\Milestone\Milestone Surveillance on

servers running all supported operating systems. If you have changed the default configuration path,

you must take your changes into consideration when using the method described in the following.

The backup described here is a backup of your entire surveillance system setup (including, among

other things, log files, event and Matrix configuration, restore points, view groups as well as

Management Application and XProtect Smart Client configuration). Alternatively, you can export your

configuration as a backup (see "Export and import management application configuration" on page

199), which is limited to the Management Application configuration.

To back up:

1. Make a copy of the folder C:\Program Data\Milestone\Milestone Surveillance and all of its

content.

2. Open the folder C:\Program Files\Milestone\Milestone Surveillance\devices, and verify if

the file devices.ini exists. If the file exists, make a copy of it. The file exists if you have

configured video properties for certain types of cameras. For such cameras, changes to the

properties are stored in the file rather than on the camera itself.

3. Store the copies away from the server, so that they are not affected if the server is damaged,

stolen or otherwise affected.

Remember that a backup is a snapshot of your system configuration at the time of backing up. If you

later change your configuration, your backup does not reflect the most recent changes. Therefore,

back up your system configuration regularly. When you back up your configuration as described, the

backup includes restore points. This allows you to not only restore the backed-up configuration, but

also to revert to an earlier point in that configuration if you need to.
