Backing up Enterprise Reporter

One SQL Server database is created and used by Enterprise Reporter and should be included with the regular SQL Server backup. This Discovery Management database has a default name of dbReporter.

Deploying Enterprise Reporter to another computer after a disaster

If the original computer is unavailable due to disaster or hardware failure, Enterprise Reporter may need to be deployed on a new computer. The Enterprise Reporter database will be required.

This step may or may not be needed depending on how the initial configuration of Enterprise Reporter was done. For example, if the database was created on a common SQL Server® and the Enterprise Reporter server was on a separate computer, then the database is still available for use. If SQL Server® was installed on the same computer where Enterprise Reporter was installed, and that computer was damaged, then SQL Server® must be installed on the recovery computer and the Enterprise Reporter database must be restored on the recovery computer or on another SQL Server®.

Appendix: Database Content Wizard

The Enterprise Reporter Database Content Wizard can be started from the Windows Start menu or from within the main Database Wizard.

To run the Database Content Wizard, you must have control and alter permission on the database. During installation, if the sa account is not selected, the Enterprise Reporter service account is added as a member of the Discovery_Admin_Role and Discovery_Nodes_Role roles. Both accounts have control and alter database permissions.
