Backing up a database
Grass Valley recommends that you back up all the databases of the GV STRATUS system before upgrading to the latest version of the software or before moving your databases from the GV STRATUS Core server to a standalone Database Server. With a database backup, you can avoid any lost of feed schedules and the need to key in everything again in case of a system crash. The backup could also be placed on another machine or an external drive for extra precaution.
