  • 1.  SCSP DB Backup?

    Posted Nov 04, 2011 06:07 AM

    Hello,

    i hope anybody can help me.

    How can I do a completely full backup and restoring of my SCSP Database?

    I'm currently uses the embedded SQL 2005 Express Database of the SCSP 5.2 RU7 installation.

    Eugen,

    I see that you are using the SQL 2005 Express database.  This database is for evaluation purposes only, and has a size limit, which when hit, will cause some headaches.  Your best bet is to move to the full version of SQL (2005 or 2008).

    Here are two good (and somewhat redundant) articles on how to migrate the SCSP database:

    Move manager or DB to a new server
    https://imconsole-kb.ges.symantec.com/InfoManager/WebObjects/InfoManager.woa/wo/ODAcMNUjxhhVEmr4atIni0/3.0.32.1.1.1.3.21.0.2.6.11.14.6.0.7.1

    How to Move a Symantec Critical System Protection (SCSP) 5.2 Manager and MSDE Database to a Production Database and Server.

    Please note that you must run the SQL script that is included in both of these articles, or the migration will fail.

          Hi Epretzer,

          With SQL Express 2005, you can use SQL Server Management Studio Express to create the backup and this would be strongly recommended before actually moving it.

          Do you need more details?

          Please let us know.
