Backing up the Content Manager OnDemand data

To complete the installation and configuration process, we recommend that you create a full, offline backup of the Content Manager OnDemand database on removable media.

A full backup of the database is required to rebuild the database, in the event that you need to do so. You cannot rebuild the database unless you have a full database backup (and any journal receivers generated since the last full database backup). See the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for i: Common Server Administration Guide for more information about backing up your Content Manager OnDemand data.

Make a record of the information about the database backup, including the date and time that the backup was taken and the label of the storage volume. Keep the backup copy in a safe location, preferably offsite. Save the backup copy at least until the next time that you create another full backup of the database.
