Chapter 5 | Administering FileMaker Server 54

Opening encrypted databases

You can open an encrypted database that is hosted on FileMaker Server by using Admin Console

or the fmsadmin command line interface (CLI). As the FileMaker

Server administrator, you should

open the file with its encryption password, so that FileMaker clients can use the encrypted

database. When you open the encrypted file from Admin Console, the encryption password dialog

box displays and you must enter the password. Because you opened the database, FileMaker

clients don’t need the encryption password to access that database.

For more information about opening an encrypted database, see FileMaker Server Help.

Note Use the fmsadmin LIST command to check whether a database is encrypted.

Backing up databases

FileMaker recommends that you back up your hosted databases. FileMaker Server provides two

ways for you to perform database backups:

1 Scheduled backups. With scheduled backups, you use the Schedule assistant to create a

scheduled task that defines which databases are backed up, and how often the databases are

backed up. Every time the scheduled task runs, FileMaker

Server checks whether the selected

databases have changed since the last backup. FileMaker

Server creates a full copy of the

databases that have changed and creates hard links to the backed up databases that have not

changed.

1 Progressive backups. With progressive backups, FileMaker Server starts by creating a full

backup of all hosted databases. After the initial full backup is complete, FileMaker

Server

subsequently copies just the changed blocks from the hosted file to the backup folder, on a

frequency based on what you specify for the save interval setting. Because the subsequent

progressive backup copies only the blocks that have changed during the save interval, the

progressive backup can run much more quickly than a scheduled backup, with less impact on

Server performance.

If your database uses container fields that store data externally, you can specify whether to back

up the container file folders. By default the container folders are not backed up. For more

information, see FileMaker

Server Help.

You can use both scheduled backups and progressive backups to ensure a comprehensive

backup strategy for your hosted databases. When FileMaker

Server backs up an encrypted

database, the backup is also encrypted.

Note If you use Time Machine in OS X, exclude FileMaker Server folder items from the Time

Machine backup. Use FileMaker

Server Admin Console to back up your database files.
