License Statistics includes the following scripts for automating backups when the database created by License Statistics (EMBEDDED32 or EMBEDDED64 ) is used with default settings (or EMBEDDED32 for versions older than 4.19.1). Review these scripts so you are familiar with what they do, and decide if they will work for your backup and restoration needs.
...
Note that you may not be able to run the scripts as a normal user on Windows due to Windows limitations, so be sure to run the scripts as an administrator (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-en/library/cc947813(v=ws.10).aspx for instructions on starting a command prompt as an administrator).
Backing up and restoring the database manually
When running License Statistics using an external database that is not maintained by License Statistics, you must do manual backups instead of using the supplied scripts. You must also do manual backups if you are running EMBEDDED32/EMBEDDED64 EMBEDDED64 (or EMBEDDED32 for version lower than v4.19.1) with any custom settings, such as custom database name, port, password set, or different user.
...
- Go to the License Statistics installation directory and select the MySQL directory for your License Statistics database. This directory is named mysql_version, where version is either x86 or x64 (mysql_x86 = EMBEDDED32, and mysql_x64 = EMBEDDED64). For License Statistics v4.19.1 and newer the directory name is mysql (EMBEDDED64).
- Ensure you have enough space for the database dump.
