1.1 Managing the configuration information
This section explains how to back up and recover a JP1 system.
If the system no longer operates due to a disk failure, it might not be possible to restore data used in JP1/IM. As a precaution in the event the unexpected occurs, certain types of files need to be backed up.
According to the explanation provided here, consider backup and recovery of JP1 as part of a backup plan for the entire system. The recovery here means to return the files to the state when their backups were taken. Note that the backup and recovery process described in this section is not available for duplication between servers and file migration.
When you perform backup and recovery, all of the following items must match on the backup source and the recovery destination:
-
Host name
-
IP address
-
PP model name
-
PP version (match the format of VVRRZZ)
-
Directory structure used by the product (permissions and the like must match)
It is assumed that OS and hardware on the source and the destination are able to perform the same operations.
If the above conditions are not met, you will need to move files.
See 1.5 Migrating the configuration information and databases and perform the operations described there.
OS commands or backup software can be used for a full backup of the entire system. However, we recommend that you back up or recover data by using the commands provided with individual JP1/IM - Manager functions that do not depend on the OS commands or backup software. If you use OS commands or backup software, the following conditions must be met:
-
Data is backed up when all JP1/IM - Manager services, including the IM database, have been stopped.
-
Data is backed up when all file and registry information, including the information registered in the OS, is consistent.
-
The backup target files are not sparse files.
If you back up and recover the definition information, also back up and recover the database.
Stop JP1/IM - View when you perform backup and recovery.
