Fenix DFA Backup Integration Guide

Overview

This document describes the integration process between Fenix DFA and backup solutions, detailing the required configuration steps and data needed for successful integration with either SQL Server or PostgreSQL.

Prerequisites

• Access to the backup solution database with administrative privileges
• Installed database system (SQL Server or PostgreSQL).

Configuration Process

1. Database Configuration

1. Ensure that the backup solution database is accessible and the required services are running.
2. Identify the database instance and confirm the connection details, including host, port, and database name (for Veeam solutions, the database is typically named “VeeamBackup”).

2. Setup User Credentials

1. For Windows Authentication (SQL Server):
   • Ensure the system running the import process has appropriate domain credentials with access to the backup database.
2. For SQL/PostgreSQL Authentication:
   • Create or identify a database user with read permissions (db_datareader in SQL Server or equivalent in PostgreSQL) on the backup solution database.
   • Note down the username and password.

3. Configure the Importer

To configure the Fenix DFA Backup Importer, provide the following details:

Configuration

    Instance                // Database Instance Name (e.g., `MSSQLSERVER` or PostgreSQL server)
    Host                    // IP Address or Hostname of the database server
    Port                    // Port Number (default: 1433 for SQL Server, 5432 for PostgreSQL)
    Database name           // Backup Solution Database Name (typically "VeeamBackup" for Veeam solutions)
    Windows authenticate    // `true` for Windows Authentication (SQL Server), `false` for standard authentication
    Username                // Database Username (leave blank for Windows Authentication)
    Password                // Database Password (leave blank for Windows Authentication)
