    Create backups of all host files under the JDEdwards/E920 directory. For example, /u03/JDEdwards/E920/*.

  • Database files

    Create backups of all data files that reside in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tablespaces.

    Use the Oracle Data Manager Tool on the deployment server to make a .dmp file of the desired database, and then back up the .dmp file on tape or hard disk.

Note: Shut down the database before you create any backups.

  • System files.

    JDEdwards\ddp\E920 directory.
