This guide is obsolete for version 6.0.17.0904 and above as the database is backed up automatically by Partek® Flow®

Automatic backups are stored in ~/.partekflow/partek_db/backups. A database backup is taken daily, upon server shutdown, or upon request on the settings page. To restore, unpack the desired backup archive to the ~/.partekflow/partek_db folder.


Linux

Open a Linux terminal and enter the following commands.

  1. Obtain root access:
    $ sudo su

  2. Change to the user account that runs Partek® Flow® . Suppose it is user account flow, then:
    $ su flow

  3. Then the default home directory should be/home/flow. Run the following command to make the backup database in home/flow directory, the archived file name is flowdbbackup.tar.gz:
    $ tar -czvf flowdbbackup.tar.gz .partekflow/

  4. Log out of the user account that runs Flow:
    Ctrl+D

MacOS

Open a Terminal window on the home directory of the user that installed Partek Flow.

  1. Run the following command to make the backup database in user's home directory
    $ tar -czvf flowdbbackup.tar.gz .partekflow/
  2. The archived file name is flowdbbackup.tar.gz.
