Tactic Database Retrieve

• The database contains all data you have added from Tactic screens (except the attached/generated files that are presented in next chapter).
• Saving the database must be done in a global way (all content).
• It is advised to save the database regularly. See the chapter "How" later in this document.

Prerequisite to get Database

• When making an upgrade, the upgrade process should not change this directory,
• however this directory can be read and write by web server at any time, it might be altered by a bad action or a bug.
• To be sure to keep all your joined files and be able to restore them if they are accidentally deleted or altered,
• just make a copy of all content of this directory.

Database Retrieve Policies

• This backup is however optional as you can still rebuild this file manually from scratch or with the Tactic install wizard if you know your database credentials
• this file contains only parameters to connect to database and directory where you Tactic is installed.
• When making a restore, it is still possible to rebuild this file by an installation from scratch.

Good Practice to Database

• As a good starting point, you database should be backed every 1 month or even every 1 week depending on your usage,
• while documents can be backed every 6 months or every 1 month depending on your usage once again.
