Backing Up TestTrack Databases
Last Updated
11th of February, 2011

The TestTrack Server database and project databases should be backed up regularly.

TestTrack native databases

By default, native TestTrack Server databases are stored in the following locations on the TestTrack Server computer:

  • Windows—C:\Program Files\Seapine\TestTrack\TTServDb

  • Mac OS X—/Applications/TestTrack/TTServDb

  • Linux—/var/lib/TestTrack/TTServDb

Projects are each stored in a subdirectory in the TTServDb directory.

To back up the server database and projects:

  1. Stop the TestTrack Server.
  2. Copy the directories you want to back up:

    To back up the server database and all projects, copy the TTServDb directory and all subdirectories.

    To back up all projects, copy the TTDbs directory and all subdirectories.

    To back up an individual project, copy the appropriate directory in the TTDbs directory and all subdirectories.
  3. Restart the TestTrack Server.
RDBMS databases

If the TestTrack Server database or projects are stored in RDBMS databases, ask your DBA for help with backups.

When you back up the server database and projects from the RDBMS, you should also back up the project directories on the TestTrack Server that contain attachments, SoloBug files, and report stylesheets. By default, these files are located in subdirectories in the TTServDb subdirectory in the TestTrack application directory. Copy the project subdirectories to back them up.

Example - TestTrack native database backup (Linux)

cp -R /var/lib/TestTrack/TTServDb/TTDbs/SampleDB/* /tape/bkup

Example - full backup (Linux)

cp -R /var/lib/TestTrack/TTServDb/* /tape/bkup
