backup or
– Detach and perform cold backup

Maintenance
Quarterly Check
• 1. Check system health – check current CPU
and RAM usage.
• 2. Check storage space for content files. Make
sure still have ample storage space.
• 3. Check and clear log files. Log files are
suppose to be auto clear. And also, if any log
file size is big, identify the reason.
