  • How to Manually Backup the RandRevit Database

    Sherry Pittman · 0 · Posted

    If you need to make any sort of changes to the database, it is highly recommended to backup the RandRevit database. 

    It's also a good idea to have an up to date backup in case of disaster recovery.

    Connecting to the database

    RDP into the machine where the SQL Database is installed, if you are using the SQL database installed with Clarity it will be on your host server.

    • Log onto the server as the Clarity Service account that runs the services and application pools, this should allow you to Log into SQL with Windows Authentication
    • Open the SQL Server

  • Clarity 2025 Task Server Requirements

    Sherry Pittman · 0 · Posted

    We recommend that the task servers be at least comparable to workstations used in production, if not stronger, especially if you are planning on running multiple sessions of Revit and or multiple logins (not typically recommended due to permission issues). 

    When referring to the Revit System Requirements.

    Do not go with anything lower than the Value, but Performance is recommended, or value with double the ram if you have large models with multiple links.

    If you choose to use virtualization, be aware that graphic intense tasks will not perform as well without a physical graphics card.  Refer to the Virtualization section below.

    In order for tasks to run, the task servers must be online and logged in with the designated Clarity account at all times. 

    For 360 projects, the Autodesk identity token must also be valid, both on the task server and in the Clarity web portal.
