longer timeout for backing up database?

[dexion]

Hi is it possible to set a longer timeout for the backing up database system tool? I am now past the point where it will time out instead of start.

 

 

 

I have 30+ machines with 2 weeks performance deta and all the servers. I believe it just takes too long to gather the info before it times out.

Try adjusting the timeout value for the tcadmin website in the IIS manager.

it was 2 minutes i changed it to 20 minutes. I dont believe thats what im up against as it times out after about 10 with either setting. I think its something within ie thats doing it not the server or your site it just takes too long so it times out.

Might be due to a large database.

 

 

 

Are you using the MYSql backup through TCAdmin?

 

 

 

If so, I can have Luis take a look at it.

 

 

 

For reference, with larger databases, I would suggest installing MYSql manager and setting a scheduled backup within it.

 

 

 

This will fully automoate the MYSql back, so you don't need to manually do it.

Yes im using the backup from the web page. I find it handy to pull it down to a remote location on demand. There are many other ways of doing it, I just got used to doing it that way.

 

Not really and issue I can use msa to do it.

Yes im using the tca web site to backup the db. I can use msa its not really an issue.

While I can have Luis take a look at the timeut issue, it just seems easier to setup the MYSQl manager and have it done automatically for you.

If your database takes more than 10 minutes to backup you will be better off configuring MySQL administrator to do automatic backups or do it with TCAdminBackupTool.exe
