Alarm File Backup

All Mirth servers should be configured to back up the alarm files.

The following are the steps to follow to perform a backup:

  1. In the Mirth server, launch the administrator console and login with admin/admin UID/PWD.
  2. Click Channels.
  3. Select the Receiver channel and select the Edit Channel option.
  4. In the Destination tab, all the destinations are listed. This writes the files to the defined location.
  5. Right-click on each destination and select the Clone Destination option.
  6. Modify the directory path of that destination to be the backup server destination. To implement this, create a shared directory on the backup server which is accessible from the Mirth server. The shared path can be provided in the cloned destination.
  7. Save the changes using the Save Changes option.
  8. Redeploy the channel.
