Managing the repository
The FastDB database installation creates a default data repository in this path:
C:\Program Files\BIRTAnalytics\data\FastDB\databases
You have the option to work in the default repository or create a new one. To back up a repository, copy the content of the \databases folder to the backup location. In case of a large repository, compress the repository folder to minimize the required space. Larger repositories require more time to compress and copy. Consider this factor when you plan a backup because your system is not accessible during the operation.
How to back up a repository
1 Stop the BIRT Analytics - FastDB service.
2 Make a copy of the current repository content in the following location:
C:\Program Files\BIRTAnalytics\data\FastDB\databases
3 Start the BIRT Analytics - FastDB service.
