8.4 Backing up and restoring operation-monitoring data

There are two types of Performance Management operation monitoring data that must be backed up.

• Event data
  Data of accumulated events that occurred in Performance Management. The data is stored in the Store database and managed in PFM - Manager.
  
• Performance data
  Data of accumulated performance information collected from the monitoring target program of the monitoring agent by using PFM - Agent or PFM - RM. The data is stored in the Store database and managed in PFM - Agent or PFM - RM.
  

The following figure shows the operation monitoring data that must be backed up.

Figure 8-4 Operation monitoring data that must be backed up in Performance Management

To back up the operation monitoring data, you can use the jpctool db backup command. You must execute the jpctool db backup command on a host where PFM - Manager is installed. You can also execute the command on a host where PFM - Agent or PFM - RM is installed, specifying the -alone or -direct option.

When using Store 2.0, you can perform a partial backup by specifying the -partial option.

To restore the operation monitoring data, use the jpctool db restore command. You must execute the jpctool db restore command on the PFM - Manager, PFM - Agent, or PFM - RM host where the database to be restored is backed up.

However, to execute the jpctool db backup and jpctool db restore commands, the following user permissions are required:

• In Windows: user with Administrator permissions or Backup Operator permissions
• In UNIX: root user permissions

Next are a couple cautionary notes on backing up and restoring the operation monitoring data:

Notes:

• If the data model version of the Store database that is backed up using the jpctool db backup command differs from the version of the Store database to be restored, the Store database cannot be restored.
• If a service key of the data to be restored differs from that of the data that is backed up using the jpctool db backup command, the Store database cannot be restored.
