3.2.3 Backing up or restoring NNMi
Periodically backing up NNMi in preparation for unexpected situations (such as system failure or data loss due to an operational error) is an important operational task. You can perform an online backup of NNMi while continuing to monitor the network. Thus, you can systematically back up NNMi.
Procedure
Execute the nnmbackup.ovpl command or the nnmrestore.ovpl command.
The following table shows the execution examples of the nnmbackup.ovpl command and the nnmrestore.ovpl command.
Purpose
Command
To perform an online backup of NNMi as a whole
nnmbackup.ovpl -type online -scope all -force -target c:\nnmi
In the folder specified for -target, a folder whose name includes the date and time (for example, nnm-bak-20150922002454) is created.
To restore the backed up data
nnmrestore.ovpl -force -source c:\nnmi\nnm-bak-20150922002454
Result
You were able to back up or restore NNMi.
