5.2.3 Taking backup while JP1/AJS3 is active
Files and folders used by JP1/AJS3 can be backed up while JP1/AJS3 is not running. Stop all JP1 products before taking backup; otherwise, if you attempt to back up the active JP1/AJS3 system, the following sorts of problems could occur:
-
Backed up files are inconsistent, and the restored system does not work properly.
Multiple files might be updated while a service is running. If one file is backed up after being updated, and another is backed up before being updated, inconsistencies can arise and the system will fail to work correctly after it is restored.
-
JP1/AJS3 cannot perform file updates.
Files are locked during backup processing. If JP1/AJS3 tries but fails to update a locked file, job execution will be affected. For this reason, we recommend that you back up JP1/AJS3 settings information only, as discussed in 5.2.1 Backup and recovery methods.
