Specify System Maintenance Settings

1. From the dashboard navigation bar, select the Tools drop-down list, and then select System Settings.
2. Select the Maintenance tab.
3. [Optional] Select the Enable Automatic Deletion checkbox to enable automatic removal of older analysis files.

When enabled, the system keeps recent analysis information and deletes all other temp files to improve performance.

4. If the Enable Automatic Deletion checkbox is selected, specify the automatic deletion trigger.

This parameter varies by instrument and is specified as one of the following:

Folder inactivity (in days)
5. Enter a preferred path to a backup location other than on the local instrument computer, such as a network location or on another networked computer.

NOTE

Database Backup files are password protected.

6. In the Backup Period field, enter the duration in days between each backup.
7. To create an immediate backup, first create a database backup secret and click Save. Then select Backup Now.

NOTE

Illumina recommends to set a database backup secret after first login to Local Run Manager. If the database backup secret is forgotten, it can be reset before performing the backup.

8. Select Save.
