Database Configuration

To make a database backup or restore a one from a previous checkpoint, use database configuration option by selecting the relevant database. The entire configuration of each Manager is stored in the database.

From Administration console, click Database and launch the ShareScan database configuration window.

Note: 

When Windows Integrated Authentication is specified if performing a database backup, the service user running the ShareScan Agent service must have both dbcreator and db_backup_operator rights. For restore operations, only dbcreator right must be granted.

ShareScan database configuration

ShareScan database configuration allows selection of a different database. Use ShareScan database configuration to detect and browse to any eCopy-enabled database.

The ShareScan agent and manager use SQL authentication when communicating with the ShareScan database. The ShareScan database uses the default SQL TCP port (1433) for communication.
