You can use Windows Task Scheduler to automatically back up your SI 2017 Server. This auto-backup will keep the last 7 backup files on the backup folder.
If you used the Express Configuration when configuring the SI 2017 Server, the default location for your SI 2017 Backups is C:\DToolsSIXBackup.
If you aren't sure how your SI 2017 Server was configured, you can always re-run the Software Configuration Wizard (SCW) to view your settings. To do this, run the following file on your SI 2017 Server then click the [Cancel] button once you've confirmed the location of your backup folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\D-Tools\SIX\Server\SIServerConfigurationWizard.exe
If you wish to change the location of this folder, click the [<Back] button and then use the [...] button to browse to a different folder. Then click the [Next >] button a few times to complete the SCW:
The backup file that gets created will be named “SIServerBackup_[Date].zip" and will be in your backup folder, again the default being C:\DToolsSIXBackup.
Each time this runs it will overwrite the previous backup. If there are any errors during the backup, they will logged here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\D-Tools\SIX\Logs\SIServerManager – [Date].log
