Take a backup of your Zoho Analytics data

It is recommended to take a regular backup of your Zoho Analytics data and configuration.

• Stop the Zoho Analytics service.
• Open the command prompt (as administrator) and change the directory to <Zoho Analytics home>\bin
• Run the command backupDB.bat and wait for the script to take a complete backup of your installation.
• A compressed ZIP file will be created in the location <Zoho Analytics home>\Backup

The following are some additional parameters that can be included with the backupDB command:

• -t b : By including this parameter with the backupDB.bat command, you can specify the backup to be a binary file.
• -f : This parameter allows you to provide a name for the backup file.
• -d : This parameter allows you to specify the directory that the backup file has to be saved in. 
• -p : This allows you to specify a password for the backup file.

Here are some examples of the above scripts:

backupDB -f test -d ../Backup -t b -p Test123

backupDB -p Test123

backupDB -f test
