Backup and Restore

The backup of Change Manager data involves both the Change Manager database tables and the Change Manager repository. You can back up the Change Manager database files by using the Sun Management Center es-backup command. es-backup backs up both Sun Management Center database files and Change Manager database files, including the Change Manager configuration data stored in the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg directory. The es-restore command restores data that has been backed up by es-backup. For more information about es-backup and es-restore, see the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide.

You can use Solaris tools, such as backup and tar, to back up the Change Manager repository. However, you must run es-restore to restore Change Manager and Sun Management Center database tables.
