3.5.1 Backup and recovery considerations
Back up the JP1/Base setup information and the event databases so that you can rebuild the system and resume operations in the same environment, should the system become corrupted in any way.
Back up the JP1/Base setup information whenever you change the system, such as at JP1/Base setup, for example.
Back up or recover JP1/Base while JP1/Base is not up and running.
When an upper-layer program backs up its data while JP1/Base is up and running, we recommend that the upper-layer program also back up the JP1/Base event database for error reporting purposes. JP1 events might be issued during the backup, and, depending on the event issuance timing, the upper-layer program might fail to reference event information, in which case the data is not correctly backed up. By backing up the event database for error reporting purposes, the upper-layer program can, after the recovery, check the status at the time when the data was backed up.
