20.2.2 Backup scope
The NNMi backup command provides several scopes that define how much of NNMi is backed up.
- Configuration scope
The configuration scope (-scope config) loosely aligns to the information in the Configuration workspace on the NNMi console.
The configuration scope includes the following data:
For online backups, only those database tables that store NNMi configuration information.
For offline backups, the entire database.
For all backups, the NNMi configuration information in the file system, as listed in Table 20‒1: Configuration scope files and directories.
- Topology scope
The topology scope (-scope topology) loosely aligns to the information in the Inventory workspace on the NNMi console. Because the network topology is dependent on the configuration that was used for discovering that topology, the topology scope includes the configuration scope.
The topology scope includes the following data:
For online backups, only those database tables that store NNMi configuration and network topology information.
For offline backups, the entire database.
For all backups, the NNMi configuration information in the file system, as listed in Table 20‒1: Configuration scope files and directories. Currently, there are no file system files associated with the topology scope.
- Event scope
The event scope (-scope event) loosely aligns to the information in the Incident Browsing workspace on the NNMi console. Because events are dependent on the network topology related to those events, the event scope includes the configuration and topology scopes.
The event scope includes the following data:
For online backups, only those database tables that store NNMi configuration, network topology, and event information.
For offline backups, the entire database.
For all backups, the NNMi configuration information in the file system, as listed in Table 20‒1: Configuration scope files and directories, and the NNMi event information, as listed in Table 20‒2: Event scope files and directories.
- All scope
The complete backup (-scope all) includes all important NNMi files and the complete database.
