Before configuring the FULL backup within Informatica the practice will need to decide on a location where the database files are to be stored. The location can be a folder on a shared drive or a shared folder on a client PC as long as this is not the Informatica server.

NOTE: for backups to run successfully the PC or drive location will need to be available on the network at the time the backup is configured to run within the Informatica software. The Informatica Agent (blue cog wheel in the right hand system tray) controls ALL automatic backups, synchronisations and the analysis. If the Informatica Agent is not running on the Informatica server the automatic processes will not take place. |
