Backing up the data store: Embedded MariaDB database

The embedded MariaDB database available with the OneSpan Authentication Server installation may be backed up while operational with a command-line procedure. For more information, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Administrator Guide.

You can create either logical backups, which contain SQL statements necessary to restore the data, or physical backups, which means copying the individual data files. For more information, refer to the MariaDB product documentation.

For encrypted databases, also back up the encryption key and password to a secure location!

You can create a batch file to automatically create backups at regular intervals (see Backing up the data store: Embedded MariaDB database (without password prompt for batch files)).
