Backing Up the Development or Production Database

---

Perform a full backup of the development or production database (as appropriate to the environment that you are upgrading), using the utilities specific to your database platform. This backup protects your repositories and environment.

It is strongly recommended that you back up your database repository at key stages of the upgrade:

• Before any upgrade activity is started
• After upgrading the Siebel Database Schema
• After the repository merge (for development environment upgrades)
• After upgrading the Custom Database Schema
