Of the data that is to be acquired as a backup of JP1/Software Distribution Manager (central manager and relay manager), the following items can be acquired automatically using the Windows task function and JP1/AJS:

• JP1/Software Distribution Manager database
• Asset Information Manager Subset (applicable if Asset Information Manager Subset is used)
• Various files
  
  • Package files and operation history files
  • Operation history files (operation history backup directory)
  • Audit log files
  • Files obtained by remote collection (applicable to relay manager only)
  • Various management files (applicable to relay manager only)

For details about the data to be acquired, see 5.3.1 Manually backing up JP1/Software Distribution Manager.

(a) When to acquire a backup

Hitachi recommends that you back up data periodically after jobs have terminated or overnight. Because this data contains defined relationships, back up everything at the same time.

(b) Acquisition method

The following shows an example of a batch file for acquiring a backup in batch mode (for Microsoft SQL Server).
