Perform a Manual Platform Manager Backup

1. Start SQL Server Management Studio.

2. Connect to the Platform Manager’s SQL Server Database Engine with your SQL Server sa credentials.

3. Right-click the LogRhythmEMDB icon in the Object Explorer panel, click Tasks, and then click Backup.

4. Select Backup type: Full.

5. Select backup component: Database.

6. Enter a Backup Set Name and select a destination.

7. Click OK.

8. Repeat the previous steps for each LogRhythm database you want to back up.

You may also use third-party backup utilities to perform database backups, but ensure that you schedule the backups at times that will not disrupt the function of the Platform Manager.
