Backup and Restore Database Servers

The following sections describe how to backup the application database on an SDM server that is shutdown (cold backup).

Note:

You must have system administrator privileges on the server to do a database backup.

The SDM database and a separate database for reporting (if you are using Oracle Communications Report Manager with SDM) runs on each cluster node. During a typical database backup, the backup for each of these database is done on the master node and the backup file is stored on the node running the backup only.
