Backup file name

Solved1.34K views18th March 2024

Hi,

When taking backup on our Dataminer 10.3 CU10 staging DMA the filename seems to always include “Custom” regardless of backup type.

For instance both “Full Backup” and “Full Backup without database” creates a file named DataMinerBackup_10.3.0.10_Custom_DT-2024-01-12T08_13_02.3994532Z.dmbackup.

What I had expected was something like this which we saw in earlier version of DM.

FullBackup-20230314.dmbackup or FullBackupwithoutDatabase-20231101.dmbackup

I've learned that the backup file name convention has changed a bit in later versions, but does that also include that Custom is always a part of the filename regardless of type of backup?

In C:\Skyline DataMiner\Backup i have two files:

BackupSettings.xml
DataMinerBackup.bks.xml

No CustomBackup xml found

I'll attach screen shots of the contents, looks alright to me.

Hi Roger,

Sorry for the delayed response!
By your comment and the screenshot attached, it does look like you have the correct files and the correct content in them.
Unfortunately this seems to be an actual issue and I would suggest you contacting our support team regarding this!

Thank you for you patience!
