We have On-Demand backups! Click the “Back Up Now” link to immediately back up any files being hosted.īy default, any On-demand backups are “protected" and cannot be deleted from the admin console (but don’t rely on this, see below). Yes, you can still create your own backup schedules here too.
So the good news is that these backups happen automatically and they can’t be disabled or turned off!
This default schedule cannot be changed, disabled, worked around, or ignored. Want to customize that schedule? Too bad, it’s automatic. The new backups are now independent from other types of schedules and you can run a backup without having to create a server schedule.įileMaker now automatically backs up all databases once a day and keeps the last seven backups. The new admin console gives you more control over how your backups are managed, protected, encrypted, and created. Perhaps the most significant advancement in FileMaker Server 17's Admin Console is its new backup features and options. The console now shows you a graphical representation of your system statistics and how they’ve changed over time (by default the last 3 minutes). See that super cool lookin’ graph in the corner? That's our new activity widget! Are there any important server events that I should know about?.Is the server running out of space, memory, or bandwidth?.Are we nearing our limits for connections or API usage?.Which of these connections count against my server limit?.How many clients are connecting and how?.The redesigned dashboard answers your most pressing questions as soon as you open the admin console. The age-old sidebar has been replaced with a more familiar top-tier nav system. The first thing you’ll see after a successful login is the new dashboard. If you ever rely on help text, you will find that it is quite a bit more helpful now. Paragraphs have been replaced by shorter, more readable snippets that explain things briefly and in natural language. The new UI is easier on the eyes but perhaps the most underrated improvement is the actual writing. As we go, I’ll indicate a few places where this has happened. Most of these options can still be configured via the CLI (Command Line I nterface). Several under-utilized options have been completely removed from the interface and can no longer be configured here. If you haven’t, you’ll just find it refreshing. If you’ve been using FileMaker Cloud, you’ll find the new admin console refreshingly familiar.
When you open the new admin console for the first time you might feel a wave of relief wash over you.
