Automate Cloud Backup
The option to automate backup remotely can be done under two locations within FIN:
DB Builder
Folio Menu
Verify Edge2Cloud is connected
Ensure Edge2Cloud is registered with a working project to enable cloud backup.
Note:
Only a user with the DeviceAdmin role can view, download or delete backup information. The information is available as a tab under a device’s summary page in the Edge2Cloud portal.
