Create a backup folder under the root directory of your Web server. Make the folder writable by everyone. All backup files will be stored in that directory. For example, if the backup folder is C:/Program Files/ApacheGroup/Apache2/htdocs/backup, the 46xxsettings.txt file should have a line similar to SET BRURI http://www.example.com/backup.
Before you begin
  1. Edit your Web server configuration file httpd.conf.
  2. Uncomment the two LoadModule lines associated with DAV:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    • LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
    • LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
    Note:
    If these modules are not available on your system (typically the case on some Unix/Linux Apache servers), you have to recompile these two modules (mod_dav & mod_dav_fs) into the server. Other ways to load these modules might be available. Check your Apache documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ for more details.
  3. Add the following lines in the httpd.conf file:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: #
    #WebDAV configuration
    #D
    avLockDB "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/var/DAVLock"
    <Location />
    Dav On
    </Location>
    Note:
    For Unix/Linux Web servers the fourth line might look more like: DavLockDB/usr/local/apache2/var/DAVLock
  4. Create the var directory and make it writable by everyone. Right-click Properties and select SecurityAddEveryoneFull Control.
