Database Backups - History
This form is only available for on-premise customers. If you are a Cloud customer, we manage all database backups for you.
The "Database Backup History Form" is available from the "Tools Menu" at the top of "X Dispatch".
- Navigate to Tools.
- Select Database Backups.
- Click History.
The "Database Backup History Form" enables you to view the history of SQL Database Backups on your X Dispatch Database Server. This can be useful if you want to verify that Backup Jobs have been running on their designated schedule. This can also be used to determine that last recent backup made in case of a need to restore the cxtData database. The backup history is divided into two sections, Full Backup History and Differential Backup History.
