DB.Backup.CatTools
This topic applies to KCT NG 2026.2 and later. If you are on KCT 3.12.7 or earlier, see legacy topic.
The DB.Backup.CatTools activity automates backing up your KCT NG database file. It does not run against your physical network devices as most of the other Activities do. Instead it takes a copy of your existing CatTools database and makes a backup to the specified location. It also attempts to squeeze the backup after completing the copy.
