-
Select Admin > System > Settings.

Select the Backup & Housekeeping tab:
-
The Last backup field shows when last a backup was done.
-
The Last housekeeping field shows the last time housekeeping was done.
-
In the Start time field, specify when you want to run the housekeeping and backup procedures each day.
If you want to run the housekeeping and backup processes immediately, select Run Now.
We recommend you schedule your database backups for when ICM isn't busy.

-
To exclude files in the MediaAttachments folder from the backup, select the Don’t backup media folder checkbox.
The MediaAttachments folder contains sensitive images, video, and audio files which you might want to keep separate from the main database backup.
The files stored in the MediaAttachments folder include documents, images, and audio and visual files you've uploaded.
Files in the MediaAttachments folder aren't indexed.
If you store your documents in this folder, they won't come up in search results.
To make sure your documents are indexed (and therefore searchable), upload them as a Document entity.
-
To exclude the MediaAttachments folder from the backup, select the Yes button.
Your agency is then responsible for backing up the files in this folder.
Alternatively, select No to back up the MediaAttachments folder as part of the housekeeping process.
-
To disable housekeeping, select the Disable housekeeping checkbox (not recommended).
