Hi,

Since data backup is critical for any enterprise, how to backup data is an important question. Please find the information regarding backup in Enterprise edition of NetFlow Analyzer below:

You can take the backup by two ways :
Option 1:
i. Navigate to <Netflowcentral-Home>/mysql directory and copy the DATA folder to a safe backup location.
ii. Navigate to <Netflowcentral-Home> diretcory and copy the temp directory to a safe backup location.

NOTE: You need to shut down the NetFlow Analyzer Central server before taking the backup. Not shutting down the central server for backup can lead to the database getting corrupted.

Option 2:
The Enterprise edition has a feature called FAILOVER which also acts as an ONLINE BACKUP. With failover, you get the feature of having a secondary central server for data redundancy and also get the advantage of data backup from the primary central server to the secondary central server without shut down of the service.

Please vist the following forum for more information on Failover in NetFlow Analyzer Enterprise edition:
