The provisioning server stores all the configuration information in an Object Oriented database called Poet FastObjects, while the DGE components use a MySQL relational database. These databases need to be backed up periodically for safety reasons, as it allows you to use the last backed up version in the event of a database corruption.
Traverse provides utilities for backup, restore, and repair of the BVE database.
In normal operating mode, the Poet database might have objects in memory and writing data to the database files randomly. Kaseya does not recommend that you back up database files while Poet is writing files to the database. The Traverse script described below sends special signals to the Poet database to flush all in-memory objects to disk, and allows an external backup program to copy the database files. After the backup operation completes, the script sends a signal to Poet to resume normal operation. While the backup operation is in progress, Poet continues to operate normally and caches all write transactions.
