If you would like an additional backup (outside of the usual schedule) of your Abacus data taken, please raise a new case online and reference the title of this article.
Please provide

  • The instance of Abacus you want the additional backup for (e.g. Prod / Test)

  • The time you would like the backup to be taken

  • Why you want this additional backup (e.g. to take a snapshot to rollback testing)

  • When you need the backup to be retained until.


Remember, all hosted databases are backed up on a regular basis so you will only need to request an additional backup in exceptional circumstances.
​
Please provide as much notice as possible with 5 working days expected. The required lead time in your SLA may vary and may be less than this.

Internal Solution

The current process is to raise a freshservice ticket, and the dba team will take the backup or restore it as requested.
