Backing Up and Restoring

The backup option allows you to create snapshots of the command control database and restore these snapshots at future date. You can back up and restore from the Framework Manager console, but you need to use the command line to remove a backed-up snapshot. For information about the command line options, see Section 10.2.2, Backing Up and Restoring a Command Control Configuration.

  1. On the home page of the console, click Command Control.

  2. In the Command Control pane, click Command Control.

  3. In the details pane, click Backup and Restore.

  4. To back up the database, specify a reason for the backup, then click Backup.

  5. To restore a previous version of the database, select the version, then click Restore.

    The current version is overwritten by the selected version.

  6. Click Close.

The following information is recorded for each backed-up version:

Date: The date and time the backup was performed.

Administrator: The user that performed the backup.

Reason: The reason for performing the backup. This is optional information, but recommended.
