Select the Backup RPS Database command from the RPS menu.
The Backup Database dialog, shown in the following image, is then displayed.
As read-only backups cannot be performed on an RPS node, the Quiesced – Read Only option button is disabled.
In the Backup Directory text box, specify the path of the directory to which your database files are to be backed up.
You must specify a directory that is valid on the server. If it does not exist, it is created. Alternatively, click the adjacent browse button (indicated by the … points of ellipsis symbol) to display the common Browse for Folder dialog that enables the selection of the backup directory in which the backed up database files will be located.
Check the Compress Files check box, if database files are to be compressed as they are backed up. The initial check box default selection is that database files are not compressed.
Check the Overwrite Existing Files check box to allow any existing files in the specified destination backup directory to be overwritten as the database is backed up. By default, existing files are not overwritten.
Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.
