1145 - How to backup the ReportServer database

Modified on Mon, 21 Jul at 1:03 PM

By default, the ReportServer database is not backed up with the AccountServer database.
 
In order to back up the ReportServer database to the StorageServer and Slave AccountServer together with the AccountServer database, create the following AccountServer.Custom.config file in the Storage Platform installation folder (add the parameter between the <appSettings> tags if the file already exists):
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<appSettings>
<add key="BackupReportDb" value="true" />
</appSettings>
 
Restart the AccountServer for the change to take effect. 
 
Note:
  • The ReportServer database is usually significantly larger than the AccountServer database, so it will take longer to back up and requires more space in the StorageServer and Slave AccountServer.
  • The AccountServer.Custom.config file needs to be applied to both the Master and Slave AccountServers. If the setting is not applied to the Slave, error messages may be encountered.
