Back up the system configuration and the definition information for a server when making changes to the configuration, in case hardware failure such as a corrupt disk causes problems.
Point
For master servers, development servers, and collaboration servers, use the backup command bdpp_backup. Refer to "A.2 bdpp_backup" for information on this command.
For slave servers, use the clone image of an installed slave server for backup. Note that slave servers in a virtual environment do not need to be backed up.
