To back up and restore a server configuration

Steps

1. Start the Application Server.

   install_dir/bin/asadmin start-domain domain_name

2. Stop the domain.

   install_dir/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain_name

3. Back up the domain.

   install_dir/bin/asadmin backup-domain domain_name

   Backed up directories are stored by default in the install_dir/backups directory.

4. Make changes to the Application Server configuration and/or domain(s), as desired.

5. If necessary, restore the server and/or domain configuration to the state saved in Step 3, above.

   install_dir/bin/asadmin restore-domain --filename backup_file domain_name
