4.9	Backup events

GFI EventsManager allows you to backup the events stored in the main database backend. This way you can reduce the size of your main database backend but at the same time keep all your event records for historical and forensic investigation purposes.

Use the backup events feature to backup events that are older than a specific amount of hours. For example, you can choose to backup events that are older than 48 hours. To backup events:

1. Click on the Events Browser tab and select an events browser accordingly.

2. From the left pane, select the Backup events option.
