Step 3: PostgreSQL server backups

Venues with databases on the AMS Cloud do not need to set up or manage backups - other than to request a special backup before running year end rollover

Once the database is set up, you will need to establish a back up frequency that is appropriate for your venue.

There are two steps to configuring the backup:

1. Use the System Preferences->Backup to setup the backup frequency within Theatre Manager. The TM Server backup process uses this setup to do the backups
2. Configuring a TM Server to do backups and monitor them

From then on, backups occur automatically. If they do not, you will receive a message on login that a backup has not been run for the past 24 hours.
