5.2.2 Backing up the entire system

To make backups with the npdatabackup command:

1. Use the npstop command (stop) to stop the system.

   Command path:

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\bin\npstop

2. Allocate at least 30 MB of free space on the disk at the backup destination.

   The required amount of free space depends on the number and contents of the Operational Contents. If static files and User Plugins are used in the Operational Contents, add the sizes of the following directories to determine the total size of the free space to be allocated:

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\PP\uCPSB\httpsd\htdocs

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\plugin_files

   If you will be backing up the operation log and audit log, also add the sizes of these files to the amount of space to be allocated.

   If there is not enough disk space at the backup destination or there is not enough free space for temporary directories that are needed during command execution, the command will terminate abnormally. Allocate sufficient free space before you execute the command.

3. Execute the npdatabackup command.

   Command path:

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\bin\npdatabackup

4. Make a backup of the operation log.

   If you are using the operation log function, copy all the files under the folder specified in ucnp.base.server.operationlog.path in the user property file (ucnp_user.properties) to the disk at the backup destination.

5. Make a backup of the audit log.

   If you are using the audit log function, copy all the files under the folder specified in ucnp.base.server.auditlog.path in the user property file (ucnp_user.properties) to the disk at the backup destination.

6. Make a backup of the dashboard server's memory settings.

   If you are using the dash board function, copy all the files under the following folder to the disk at the backup destination.

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\PP\OpenSearch\opensearch\config

7. Make a backup of tasks.

   If you have created tasks that execute commands provided by Navigation Platform, save the settings of the tasks to the disk at the backup destination.

8. Use the npstart command (start) to start the system.

   Command path:

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\bin\npstart
