I have the habit of periodically zipping up a bunch of folders and putting them on S3 for long term backup (long term = many years). If I want to include DT in this backup, do I need any folders other than the folder that holds my three DT databases?
My goal would be to able to — n years from now — restore the back and see DT exactly as I see it today (not necessary things like UI preferences, but the data).
You can select a database and choose File > Export > Database Archive to create an optimized ZIP file of the database. You can also use Script menu > Export > Daily Backup Archive, which just puts a datestamp in the filename and puts it in a Backup folder in your Home directory, like so…
I’m trying to do file/export/database archive – BUT it rejects my database because ‘verification of database has failed’. When I do ‘Verify and Repair Database’ I can see that it fails because it says there is a missing file, and the repair function doesn’t fix it. So – how do I either a) find out where it thinks there is a missing file and do something about finding it or b) tell it not to worry about the missing file and go ahead and create the database archive for export?
