If you'd like to set up an automated process, here's how to do it.
Issue a form post to your application like this:
https://yourqrimpappurl/login.aspx
txtUsername= {your username}
txtPassword= {your password}
uid=true
You can also use a get, but then the logs show the query string in some server setups. Better to use a post.
Now, the response will contain a GUID representing the user who just logged in. Next, download a file from the following url using GET:
https://yourqrimpappurl/inserts.aspx?backup=true&download=true&uid={uid from above}
or more securely using FORM Post to:
https://yourqrimpappurl/inserts.aspx
backup=true
download=true
and then save the result to a local .zip file. By default, the filename will include the Qrimp app URL and the date and time in the file name, but you can save it as whatever filename you like.
Your file will be encrypted and zipped up and locked with a password to prevent tampering. If you ever need to restore your database to one of these points in time, then email
Qrimp Support or
Open a Trouble Ticket and we will restore your system. Additional fees may be required for certain hosted plans or download accounts.
Enterprise customers can backup their database to Amazon S3 in an automated fashion like this as well. Please contact
Qrimp Support for more information about how to do this. We will soon be adding backup to Mosso CloudFS for databases smaller than 5 GB.
Also, remember, this does not copy the attachments, it only backs up the data. If you would like to copy attachments as well, use
Synchronizer with automation.
