Backup and Restore

Backup of Change Manager data involves both Change Manager database tables and the Change Manager file repository. You can back up the Change Manager database files by using the Sun Management Center command es-backup. The es-backup command backs up both Sun Management Center database files and Change Manager database files, including all Change Manager configuration data kept under /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg. The es-restore command restores data backed up by es-backup. For more information about es-backup and es-restore, see the Sun Management Center user documentation.

You can back up the Change Manager file repository by using ordinary Solaris operating environment file system tools. You must restore the repository after you run es-restore to restore Change Manager and Sun Management Center metadata.
