Configuring Backups
Readysell has a built-in backup that can create backup archives locally on the server or on a network location (such as a shared drive or network attached storage).

If you are reconfiguring an existing backup, you will need to stop and restart the ReadysellService (there is a button to do this in the "Tools" tab on the main ribbon) to ensure the updated system references are picked up. |
Testing Backups
You can test your configuration at any time by running the Backup task (available from Administration > Advanced > Tasks in the Readysell menu). Choose Backup from the task list, then click Run Task Now. Once Log Entries tab shows "Job Execution is Complete", go to each backup location and check that the backups have been created.
Scheduling Backups
Readysell backups are initiated by the built in Readysell tasks system. The task system runs constantly (as long as the ReadysellServer Windows service is running).
You can configure the backup schedule by modifying the Backup task (available from Administration > Advanced > Tasks in the Readysell menu). Choose Backup from the task list, then check the Enabled check box. By default, the backup task is configured to run at 11pm each day. If you would like to change the schedule, please set the Schedule cron string (see Setting Task Schedulestask schedules).
