Project Server 2013 / Daily Schedule Backup

Daily Schedule Backup
(Project Server 2013)

This article describes how to use the Daily Schedule Backup settings page to select the Project Server 2013 objects that you would like to schedule for back up on a daily basis. This procedure does not back up the physical files of a database (.mdb), but creates backups of specific items in the database. These items are backed up from the Published section to the Archive section in the Project Web App database.

In order to access and use settings on the Daily Schedule Backup page, you must be a farm administrator.

Items you can schedule for backup

You can enable daily backup on the Daily Schedule Backup page for the following Project Server 2013 items:

 

Item	Description
Project	Includes project resources, assignments, tasks, custom field values, baseline data
Enterprise resource pool and calendars	Includes enterprise resources and enterprise calendars
Enterprise custom field	Includes enterprise custom field metadata, enterprise lookup table metadata, enterprise lookup table values
Enterprise global template	Includes all Project Professional table, macro, and view definitions
View definition	Includes statusing, Project Center, Portfolio Analyzer, and Resource Center view definitions
Category and group settings	Includes settings for all Project Server categories and groups.

Important:
Item-level backup and restore of category and group settings apply only in Project Permission Mode. For more information about security modes in Project Server 2013, see Plan user access in Project Server 2013.

To back up data automatically by using a daily schedule

1. In SharePoint Central Administration, click Application Management.
2. On the Application Management page, in the Service Application section, click Manage Service Applications.
3. On the Service Applications page, click the Project Application Service that contains the Project Web App instance for which you want to access the Administrative Backup settings.
4. On the Manage Project Web Apps page, click the drop-down menu for the PWA instance for which you want to access the Daily Schedule Backup settings, and click Manage.
5. On the Project Web App Server Settings page, in the Queue and Database Administration section, click Daily Schedule Backup.
6. On the Daily Backup Schedule page, in the Project Retention Policy box, type the number of versions you want to retain for projects that you back up.

   Note:
   The Project Retention Policy only pertains to projects and not to other enterprise objects. Also note that increasing this setting affects the Archive table in the Project Server 2013 database (ProjectService). The more versions you keep, the more space is required.

7. For each item in the Item section, select either Schedule or Never from the Option list to indicate whether you want to schedule a backup for that item.
8. Click Save.

By default, all items you selected on the Daily Backup Schedule page are backed daily, at a time between 12 AM and 3 AM.

As noted in the procedure, the number of versions that are backed up for projects depend on the value you set for the Project Retention Policy. All other items are only backed up to the previous version.

Project Server 2013 / Administrative Backup

Back up item-level objects through Administrative Backup (Project Server 2013)

This article describes how to back up specific project items in Project Web App. This procedure does not back up the physical files of a database (.mdb), but creates backups of specific items in the database. These items are backed up from the Published section to the Archive section in the Project Web App database.

In order to perform these procedures, you must be a farm administrator.

Backing up item-level objects

You can use the procedures in this article to back up the following project items:

 

Item	Description
Project	Includes project resources, assignments, tasks, custom field values, baseline data
Enterprise resource pool and calendars	Includes enterprise resources and enterprise calendars
Enterprise custom field	Includes enterprise custom field metadata, enterprise lookup table metadata, enterprise lookup table values
Enterprise global template	Includes all Project Professional table, macro, and view definitions
View definition	Includes statusing, Project Center, Portfolio Analyzer, and Resource Center view definitions
Category and group settings	Includes settings for all Project Server categories and groups.

Important:
Item-level backup and restore of category and group settings only applies to Project Permission Mode. For more information about security modes in Project Server 2013, see Plan user access in Project Server 2013.

The following procedure allows you to select the Project Server 2013 items you would like to backup. When the procedure is completed, the backup job is immediately sent to the queue for processing. If you would like to schedule a daily backup of these items, this is done through the Daily Backup Schedule settings page. For more information on scheduling daily backups of Project Server 2013 items, see Daily Schedule Backup (Project Server 2013).

To back up items manually

1. In SharePoint Central Administration, click Application Management.
2. On the Application Management page, in the Service Application section, click Manage Service Applications.
3. On the Service Applications page, click the Project Application Service that contains the Project Web App instance for which you want to access the Administrative Backup settings.
4. On the Manage Project Web Apps page, click the drop-down menu for the PWA instance for which you want to access the Administrative Backup settings, and click Manage.
5. On the Project Web App Server Settings page, in the Queue and Database Administration section, click Administrative Backup.
6. In the Select Items section, select the check box next to each project item that you want to back up.
7. Click Backup. A message box will display telling you that the selected items will be queued for backup. Click OK to back up the selected items.

When you backup projects for the first time, all projects are backed up. After the initial project backup, all subsequent project backups will only backup projects that have been updated since the last backup. This ensures that the latest version of the project is backed up for all projects. Note that you can configure the number of versions of a project that you would like to back up through the Project Retention Policy setting that is available in the Daily Schedule Backup page. The Project Retention policy pertains to both scheduled and manual administrative backups of projects. For more information about the Project Retention Policy setting, see Daily Schedule Backup (Project Server 2013).

All Project Server 2013 items backed up through the Administrative Backup page can be restored through the Administrative Restore page. For more information about restoring backed up Project Server 2013 items, see Restore item-level objects through Administrative Restore (Project Server 2013).

IBM Storwize / Remove all system information

IBM Storwize / Remove all system information

This procedure guides you through the process to completely remove all system information. When the procedure is finished, the system performs like a new installation.

Attention: This procedure makes all the volume data that you have on your system inaccessible. You cannot recover the data. This procedure affects all volumes that are managed by your system, which includes the drives in the control enclosure, in the expansion enclosures, and on the managed disks on external storage systems. The only volumes not affected are image mode volumes on external storage systems.

Do not continue unless you are certain that you want to remove all the volume data and configuration data from your system. This procedure is not used as part of any recovery action.

There are two stages to this procedure. First, the node canisters are reset. Second, the enclosure data is reset.

Procedure

1. Start the service assistant on one of the node canisters.
2. Use the service assistant node action to hold the node in service state.
3. Use the Manage System option to remove the system data from the node.
4. Perform the previous steps on the second node canister in the enclosure and then on every node in every other enclosure in the system.
5. On one node in every enclosure, open the service assistant Configure Enclosure and select the Reset System ID option.
   This action causes the system to reset.
6. Power each enclosure off and on before creating a system.
