How to Create and Automate Backups in AKCP Quicklime
When managing a data center, your configuration settings, floor plans, and digital twins are just as critical as the hardware itself. If you are using AKCP Quicklime DCIM to monitor your facility’s power train, thermal efficiency, and access control, you have likely invested significant time into customizing your dashboards and sensor thresholds.
Protecting that work is essential. In this tutorial video, we walk through the essential process of securing your data by creating manual backups and setting up automated schedules.
Why Automate Your Backups?
Manual backups are a great habit before performing system upgrades or major network changes. However, relying purely on manual intervention leaves your critical infrastructure data vulnerable to unexpected hardware failures or network anomalies. By automating your Quicklime backups, you ensure that your most recent 3D facility models, sensor configurations, and user access logs are always safe and recoverable without adding to your daily workload.
Setting Up a Scheduled Backup
While the video walks through the specific UI clicks in detail, establishing an automated backup schedule in Quicklime generally follows a straightforward administrative flow:
Taking a few minutes today to configure your backups can save you hours—or even days—of rebuilding your digital twin in a worst-case scenario. Be sure to check out the full video tutorial to see exactly where these settings are located within your Quicklime interface.
