Backing up your DigiPath WS system is an important and 
necessary function. Should the DigiPath system experience an 
internal hard disk or RAID system failure, accidental file deletion, 
or other catastrophic event, a successful backup of data 
minimizes the amount of lost data and work. Using a successful 
and efficient backup strategy also reduces the amount of time 
required to restore the system to a fully operational state once 
the necessary hardware repairs have been made.

The following applications are used when backing up your WS 
server, DigiPath cabinets, or specific files:

•

DigiPath Rescue  — The DigiPath Rescue application is 
used to backup the DigiPath WS MainCollection cabinet and 
other DigiPath cabinets, including user information, registry 
settings, documents and/or properties associated within 
those cabinets, and WS information to a specified directory 
on your DigiPath WS server hard drive. You can then, in case 
of catastrophic event, restore the data from the hard drive.

The following DigiPath WS information may be backed up 
using DigiPath Rescue:
