Overview of the Backup Process

You can restore trusted storage from a backup copy only if the producer has enabled trusted-storage backups to occur on the license server. If you need information about enabling these backups, contact the producer.

The following provides an overview of the backup process for trusted storage on the license server:

•

One. The license server automatically initiates a trusted-storage backup whenever the following events occur:

•

A capability response from the back office is processed

•

A quantity of capability requests from FlexNet Embedded clients have been processed (based on producer-defined thresholds for the license server)

•

Two. Once the backup is initiated, the license server suspends the processing of capability responses and requests until the backup completes.

•

Three. If the backup is successful, the backed-up trusted storage data is stored in the file tsBackup/flexnetls_licenses.mv.db.ts, located in the directory containing trusted storage. (A failed backup can be an indicator that trusted storage is corrupt.)

The license server maintains only one copy of the backed-up data at any given time.
