To Enable Hot Backups in Calendar Server Version 6.3

1. Log in as an administrator with configuration privileges.

2. Stop Calendar Server services by issuing the stop-cal command.

3. Change to the directory where the ics.conf file is located.

   cd /etc/opt/SUNWics5/config

4. Enable hot backups by setting the following ics.conf parameter to “yes”:

   caldb.berkeleydb.hotbackup.enable="yes"

5. Specify the directory path for the hot backup directory:

   caldb.berkeleydb.hotbackup.path=
      /var/opt/SUNWics5/hotbackup_directory
   

   The default is the current directory.

6. When you have completed editing the ics.conf file, restart Calendar Server.

   cal-svr-base/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/start-cal

   The calendar services do not need to be stopped to edit the ics.conf file, but you must restart the services in order for the changes to take effect.
