Backup and Restore

The Sun Management Center 3.0 backup and restore scripts can be used to backup or restore all Sun Management Center 3.0 data, including Performance Reporting Manager. For information, see “Database Backup and Recovery” in Sun Management Center 3.0 Installation Guide.

The last step of the Performance Reporting Manager setup procedure ask you if you want to start a backup of the Sun Management Center 3.0 data, including Performance Reporting Manager. It is suggested that you answer “Yes” to the backup question. The first backup of Performance Reporting Manager completed after set up replaces any previous backup performed before running the es-setup script.

Performing frequent backups of your entire system will ensure the ability to recover the most current data possible, in the event of a system failure. Frequent backups will help to minimize any data loss.

If you attempt to restore from a backup that was performed before the Performance Reporting Manager add-on is setup, you will lose your Performance Reporting Manager data.

Do not attempt to restore a backup from a medium or large configuration if the machine has been converted to a small configuration. Problems might result from having insufficient disk space to restore the data, and you might experience performance degradation. This type of restoration is not supported.
