Backing up the OpsCenter database
OpsCenter is shipped with a database backup script that performs backup of the
database without interrupting its operations, which is referred to as hot backup.
On UNIX as well as Windows platforms, the script overwrites existing database
(db) files before backing up or restoring the database. The database files are as
follows: vxpmdb.db, symcOpscache.db, and vxpmdb.log. The script backs up or
restores the vxpmdb.db, symcOpscache.db, and vxpmdb.log file (if it exists).
Note: Regular file system backups are not sufficient for backing up the OpsCenter
database. You must schedule periodic hot backups for the OpsCenter database to
avoid losing any important data.
Restoring the OpsCenter database
After you back up the database, you can restore it. On Windows and UNIX hosts,
the restore operation automatically stops the database, restores the backup
database files, and restarts the database. The dbbackup script overwrites existing
database (db) files before backing up or restoring the database. The database files
are as follows: vxpmdb.db, symcOpscache.db, and vxpmdb.log. The script backs
up or restores the vxpmdb.db, symcOpscache.db, and vxpmdb.log file (if it exists).
