Use the Attach backups function to expand the recording time period of an active HD store for analysis purposes.

Example

For instance, suppose the active HD store is configured for a time period of 1 month and you create a monthly backup. To be able to carry out an evaluation of the past quarter anyway, simply attach the last two backups.

During the analysis with ibaAnalyzer, this looks like a three-month HD recording.

Take the following prerequisites and properties into consideration:

  • The backups that are to be attached may be in a different storage location than the active HD store. Therefore, you can also cover large time periods for which the active storage of the ibaHD-Server computer is not configured.

  • Backups can be attached to an active HD store as well as to a mounted backup (offline analysis).

The process of appending is divided into two steps:

  • Setting the source

  • Validation
