Backing Up the File System

  To back up the file system for EPM Workspace and Shared Services:

1. Copy these folders to a storage device or another network location after you install or reconfigure EPM Workspace.

   • EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE

   • MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain name

   Note:

   This is a one-time backup of all Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System components that installed and configured on the machine.

2. Perform a weekly full or daily incremental backup of these subfolders of EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config:

   • FoundationServices

   • Foundation

     Note:

     The 11.1.2.0 subfolder of EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/foundation contains .reg.properties, which is required for recovery.

3. Optional: Perform a monthly or weekly backup of MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain name/servers/managed server name/logs, which contains only historical information.
