If any of these factors breaks down the net result is that the backup run would fail and you would be without backup. So you’d have to elevate their rights and document that in case a reinstall is required sometime in the future. These accounts do not have write privileges to network resources. Remember that FileMaker Server – and by extension its schedules – runs as “local system” on Windows and the “fmsadmin” account on OSX.
The setup would be fragile: the completion of the backup depends on more factors now: the destination being available, the privileges having been set correctly and maintained that way. In addition, the backup will consume much less CPU time and network bandwidth when the backup is done locally. So, backing up locally is going to have a smaller impact on the users. That’s when the users will see the most impact. Keep in mind that FileMaker Server pauses the hosted file at the end of the backup process to synchronize any changes that were made to the files since the start of the backup. It would take longer: copying across the network is always going to be slower than what the server can do with its own disks.
There are fewer variables to deal with, in the event something should fail. Network connections can break for various reasons. Network backups will always take longer than local backups. While the article is about OSX, the same applies to Windows.Īt the bottom of this very short entry they specify a few reasons why backing up remotely using a backup schedule is not supported or not a good idea. There is an article in the FileMaker Knowledge base that addresses this. So can we specify a path here that would point to a network location? The short answer is no. xsl Common file extensions used by FileMaker Pro for Windows FileMaker Pro for Windows default file extension associations Although its likely, that some file extensions may be missing from the list of associated file extensions with the application, yet they can be opened, be part of, or otherwise be associated with the program.
