AdvancedCopy Manager holds various repositories of management information on the usage of its functions. They are named generically and are referred to as a database in this chapter.
The databases are important information and it is recommended that they be backed up periodically. Note that the databases referred to here differ from databases used for transactions, such as ORACLE databases.
The following table lists instances when backup of the database is needed.
Type | When a backup should be created | Backup method | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
Registry | A Managed Server has been added or Management Server information (server name, IP address, or port number) has changed. | "7.1.1.4.1 Backing up a registry" | Refer to "7.1.1.4.1 Backing up a registry". |
Backup management list | A backup transaction has been completed. | "7.1.1.1.1 Backing up a backup management list" | Refer to "7.1.1.1.1 Backing up a backup management list". |
Volume configuration information | When the configuration of the volume group has changed. | Refer to "7.1.1.1.3 Preserving the volume configuration information". | |
Pre-processing and post-processing scripts for backup management | A pre-processing or post-processing script has changed. | Saving a database by using the copy command | Check the size of the pre-processing and post-processing script files for backup management. |
Replication management list | A replication transaction has been completed. | "7.1.1.2.1 Backing up a replication management list" | Refer to "7.1.1.2.1 Backing up a replication management list". |
Volume configuration information | When the configuration of the volume group is changed. | Refer to "7.1.1.2.3 Preserving the volume configuration information". | |
Pre-processing and post-processing scripts for replication management | A pre-processing or post-processing script has changed. | Saving a database by using the copy command | Check the size of the pre-processing and post-processing script file for replication management. |
Policy file for management information package backup | The policy file has changed. | Saving a database by using the copy command | Check the size of the policy file for management information package backup. |
Point
You can create backups of databases either individually or as a whole.
If a Managed Server also operates as a Management Server, the Managed Server contains a database for the Management Server as well as for the Managed Server.
