Performing regular backups of your Uptime Infrastructure Monitor DataStore is a highly recommended practice. The DataStore is the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor backbone and holds all configuration information and historical performance data. This article outlines five common methods for backing up your DataStore. It is recommended to choose at least one of these methods to back up your Uptime DataStore. For added safety, you can implement more than one of the options below in case one of the methods should falter. Only one of the options below can be used to restore a backup; the methods cannot be merged when restoring the backup.

These backup methods are intended for a single Monitoring Station. Never attempt to merge two or more Monitoring Station configurations in a single database.

In addition to backing up the Uptime DataStore, it is also important to back up the Uptime configuration files and any customized files. Be sure to follow the recommendations in the Other Files and Directories to Backup section at the bottom of this article.
