You can regularly back up the Veritas Operations Manager Management Server data to prevent data loss in the event of a failure. Veritas Operations Manager 4.1 provides a script that you can use to back up and restore data.
Before you upgrade Veritas Operations Manager Management Server, Symantec recommends that you back up the data. To take a backup of the existing configuration, you need to first extract a backup script, and then, run the backup script.
On UNIX, the backup script can back up an existing Management Server in high-availability configuration.
You can use the .bin file that you downloaded for installing the version 4.1 Management Server to extract the backup script. You need to perform the extract step only once to obtain the backup script.
The command extracts a Perl script named vom_bkup.pl.
To take the backup, run the extracted Perl script:
where, dir is the location that you specify for creating the backup. You can specify any location except /var/opt/VRTSsfmh, /opt/VRTSsfmh, /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs, or /opt/VRTSsfmcs.
The backup script can also be used to restore the backup. To restore the data using the backup script, the backup must be taken using the backup script for version 4.1.
