Backing up the central administration console database

If the central administration console database is removed or deleted, the database is created again at the next startup of the server. However, the new database does not contain the most recent data. To ensure that you do not lose data, you must back up the database frequently.

To ensure that you have the most recent data in the database, complete the following steps:

1. Configure Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations for backups on your system.
2. Set up the following database folder for frequent backups:

   Install_Location\IBM\Tivoli\Tipv2_fbws\profiles\TIPProfile\fbfw\CA_DB
