This shows the current server and database name used by the Access Manager service.
This option configures AMS to automatically perform required maintenance to indexes and statistics. You can disable this if you have your own scripts to manage database maintenance.
It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.
If you are using the pre-configured SQL Express engine, configured at installation time, then you will see additional options related to backing up the database.
If you are using Azure SQL, Amazon RDS, or an external SQL server, then you must configure backups in those systems. The in-built backup options will not be shown.
You can have Access Manager automatically backup the AMS database each night using the built-in SQL server backup mechanism. If you have your own backup system in place, disable this setting so as not to cause conflicts.
If AMS is configured for automatic backup, you can choose how many days worth of backups you want to keep. Backups older than the specified period will be automatically purged.
By default, SQL server has a default folder configured for storing backups. You can override the automatic backup location by specifying another path here. Note, that this path must be relative to the SQL server itself, and the SQL service account must have appropriate permission to this location.
