Backing Up Before Restoring an ADM Session

This topic is part of Administering the Siebel ADM Deployment Execution.

The backup command backs up the target environment's current application settings that are updated by the ADM package referenced in the command. This process normally occurs automatically during the restore command (as specified in the enterprise profile), but running it separately reduces the deployment time.

To back up target environment before restoring an ADM package

• At the ADM command-line prompt, enter:

  deploy_enterprise_name backup username password package_name

  For more information about the syntax elements of this command, see About the Siebel ADM Command-Line Interface Syntax.

  The backup command can also use the optional flags described in Table 8 and Table 10.
