Instead, use FileMaker Pro to encrypt databases. This requires an additional layer of software and more processor work on any data being moved to or from the hard drive. Don't enable FileVault on your FileMaker Server machine. To avoid problems, add the locations where the databases are stored to the "Do not back up" section of the Time Machine Preferences.įileVault is used to encrypt the entire macOS startup volume. If you use Time Machine, it doesn't corrupt the databases if it was configured to back up those files, but can be very CPU intensive. Time Machine is an application that automatically backs up files, but doesn't back up any files that are in use, such as the live FileMaker databases. The Spotlight service automatically watches when information is written to the hard drive and indexes the data to allow faster searches for files.

Spotlight indexing can impact FileMaker Server's performance. The Database Server component of FileMaker Server accesses the FileMaker databases directly and manages the network access by FileMaker clients. To prevent corruption, remove processes, services, or applications that attempt to access the hosted files. Sometimes files accessed directly while FileMaker Server is under load become corrupted. Setting up and configuring the operating system (FileMaker Server only, macOS)Īvoid services that may impact the live, hosted databaseĪny service or application that allows the live, hosted databases to be copied or accessed may cause database corruption.
