STA Services Best Practices

Follow best practices when using STA services to help manage the database.

Configure database backups

You should configure a remote backup server for STA database backups. See the STA Administration Guide for instructions.

Manage database backup space usage

It is the customer's responsibility to manage space on the STA remote backup server. You should periodically check the amount of space consumed by the STA database backups and take appropriate action when space is running low.

Configure the STA Resource Monitor on the STA server

To assist with management of the STA server, you can define high water marks for disk and memory usage, and the Resource Monitor will alert you if these are exceeded. See the STA Administration Guide for instructions.
