Backing up the QA Wizard Pro Server

The QA Wizard Pro Server database and global application repositories should be backed up regularly.

Server database

SQLite

By default, the server database is in SQLite format and stored in the QAWServer directory on the root of the computer the QA Wizard Pro Server is installed on. For example, if you installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Perforce\QA Wizard Pro directory, the database is stored in C:\QAWServer.

Note: If you upgraded from QA Wizard Pro 2011.0 or earlier, the default server directory is C:\QAWRepository.

To back up the database:

1. Stop the QA Wizard Pro Server.

2. Copy the QAWServer.db file to a backup directory.

3. Restart the QA Wizard Pro Server.

Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL

If the server database is stored in Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL, ask your DBA for help with backups.

Global application repositories

To back up applications in global repositories, export them and save the copy in a backup directory. See Exporting applications.
