Define Database Backup List

InterSystems IRIS maintains a database list that specifies the databases to back up. You can display this list by navigating to the System Administration > Configuration > Database Backup > Database Backup List page of the Management Portal.

Use the arrow buttons to move the databases you do not want to back up to the Available list and the databases you do want to back up to the Selected list. Click Save. If you do not select any databases, the system backs up all databases.

When you add a new database to your system, the system automatically adds it to the database list. If you do not need to include the new database in your backup plan, be sure to remove it from the Backup Database List.

Note:

The defined database list is ignored by the FullAllDatabases backup task, which performs a backup of all databases excluding the IRISTEMP, IRISLIB, and IRISLOCALDATA databases.

You can also maintain the backup database list using the ^BACKUP routine or the Backup.General.AddDatabaseToList()Opens in a new tab and Backup.General.RemoveDatabaseFromList()Opens in a new tab methods. See Backup.GeneralOpens in a new tab for details on using these methods.
