This tab displays Maintenance Tasks such as backups, re-indexing, and index optimizations.
It also allows specifying scheduled tasks at regular intervals.
It shows a table of active tasks, a table of past tasks, and several forms for manual or scheduled operations.
This table displays the currently running backup, reindexing or optimization tasks.
The
selector allows refreshing at regular intervals.This table displays the tasks executed during the most recent period.
A drop-down selector allows choosing the displayed period: 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 1 month.
A form to run an operation for a particular XML Library.

button, to completely reindex the database
button, to run a database optimization.
A form to define a regularly scheduled backup for all XML Libraries: for example once a day (the default).
This form is simply an editor for configuration properties named scheduled_backup_*
. After modification, the Save button on the right must be used.
Interval: once a day, once an hour etc
Time: precise time to run the operation.
Note that if the interval is greater than 1 day, it is possible to specify the day, for example:
sunday 03:
Directory: the place on the server's file-system where the XML Libraries are saved.
See hereafter for details.
Number of directories: the backup can be done alternately on several directories.
If this value is greater than 1, the directory path above is appended with values 0, 1, 2... cyclically.
For example if the directory is /backups/dbs/ and Number of directories is 3, the backup of library mydb
will be done cyclically on /backups/dbs/mydb0, /backups/dbs/mydb1
and /backups/dbs/mydb2
