After executing the PreBackup<InstanceName>_<SiteDB>_<LocationDB>.bat scripts, make a backup of the Host databases in Project Management. These databases are then transferred and restored on the Satellite servers. Include a copy of the SharedContent folder along with any additional supporting data (Reference 3D files, DGN, DWG referenced files, and so on) on the backup.
-
Open Project Management, and make a backup of the model.
-
Save the files to a location where they can be retrieved.
-
Transfer the backup files, and a copy of the SharedContent folder, to each of the Satellites being configured.
-
Because the database backup file set is highly compressible, we recommend that you compress the dataset to improve transfer time to the Satellite locations.
-
After completing the backup, users can resume working on the Host while the initial Global Workshare Configuration setup is in progress.
