Feature Request - Backing up the FMS schedules

Feature request time. Yesterday I had an unfortunate incident where a client updated FMS and it became corrupted. Admin console would not login, we couldn’t really get it going unless a complete reinstall. What made it worse though is all the schedules were not saved prior to update and so we could not access them to restore. I had the painstaking process of restoring as best I could by looking at an older loadschedules.log and event.log for when they ran…

Is there any way the admin console action of saving schedules can be programmed? I couldn’t see a way via fmsadmin command line tool. It seems to be just in teh admin console but I do wonder if the admin console API has this ? Do you know?

If a feature like this were available in Otto, to perform nightly backups of the schedule config this would be awesome and another feather in your cap :slight_smile:

This is on our road map. Soon.

We are thinking we will back up everything that it would take to restore a server.

What do you think of that idea?

Hmm, well… I suppose you could back up everything but do we really need everything… I’m just not sure about that idea…

Kidding… of course it’s a bloody brilliant idea!
