When requested by support@jiwa.com.au for Jiwa Support for a backup of a database these are the steps to follow

...

Create the backup

Create a BACPAC file for cloud / Azure hosted databases or very large databases (see instructions here BACPAC Backup(.bacpac))

Otherwise, create a manual .bak backup (see instructions here Backup(.bak))

Upload the backup

Steps to upload the database onto our FTP site:
  1. Install a FTP Client onto your computer if you haven't done yet. 
    NOTE: We recommend FileZilla which is free available from the web on: 
    https://filezilla-project.org/download.php
  2. Load up the FTP client and enter the following credentials into the login section: 
    Server: ftp://ftp.jiwa.com.au
    Username: uploads
    Password: uploads

     

    Info
    titleWrite-Only permission

    The credentials used to upload files have write-only permission. Your data is secure and cannot be viewed, downloaded or deleted by anyone other than Jiwa staff.


  3. Browse to the backup file you have created and then upload it
  4. Wait until the backup is fully uploaded
  5. Send an email to service@jiwa.com.au and Update your Jiwa Helpdesk case to inform us that the uploaded file is available for us to download.  We'll then remove it from the FTP site
