Overview

AM2 Data Security, AM2Backup.exe, is a Windows application program that provides

options for the backup of AutoMate data to local media such as an external hard drive or a

remote location via FTP.

The use of this application provides manual selection of backup options which are intended

for use with and as a supplement to, scheduled backup strategies but not as a replacement

of scheduled backup strategies. Scheduled backup strategies using commercial backup

software, such as Acronis, should be maintained to provide a complete backup and images

of critical systems and data.

AM2Backup should be installed on a PC which has access to AutoMate data folders and to

the local/network media, and/or FTP location to which the backup file will be written.

The backup process uses compression to reduce the size of the resulting backup file.

Performance tests of the compression achieved indicated the resulting compressed file is

approximately 14% of the original file size.

Actual results were performed on 2 existing AM2 data sets that contained transactions for

10 plus years:

 104MByte of data was compressed and resulted in a 14MByte backup file (13.5%);

 158MByte of data was compressed and resulted in a 21.8MByte backup file (13.8%).

Compression achieved a backup file approximately 14% of the original file sizes.

Compression is performed using the 7zip command line utility. The resulting archive file is

password protected with “MyBackup”, and given a name constructed from the AutoMate

data’s company name and the date of the last transaction in the AutoMate data set. In

addition, the filename extension is, by default, “bkup” in order to disassociate the file from

inadvertently being decompressed by file compression programs.

AM2 Data Security provides Backup Operation, Restore Operation and Rebuild/Repair

Operations. Selection is made by choosing the appropriate Backup, Restore or

Rebuild/Repair tab.
