Midnight backups

To enable online Midnight backups:

It is recommended to leave the "Midnight" option checked!

All Midnight backups are made to separate directories.

• Every day Monitor one makes a (database only – Projectname.fdb) backup to a directory of the form: <ProjectDirectory>\<ProjectName>_Midnight_Day_Day#
• At a week boundary (Sunday to Monday night) a full backup to a directory of the form: <ProjectDirectory>\<ProjectName>_Midnight_Week_Week#
• At a month boundary a full backup to a directory of the form: <ProjectDirectory>\<ProjectName>_Midnight_Month_Month#
