Backing up IBM Content Navigator

Periodically back up your IBM® Content Navigator system to facilitate a rapid recovery from situations that result in the loss of data.

About this task

If you use IBM Content Navigator to connect to IBM FileNet® Content Manager repositories, you can include your IBM Content Navigator database in the online backup of your IBM FileNet P8 system.

If you use IBM Content Navigator to connect to IBM Content Manager or IBM Content Manager OnDemand, or if you do not run an online backup of your IBM FileNet P8 system, you must back up your IBM Content Navigator system offline.

Procedure

To backup IBM Content Navigator:

  1. Back up your repository by following the documentation for your repository.
  2. Back up your IBM Content Navigator database by following the documentation for your database.
  3. Back up your IBM Content Navigator configuration profiles:
    1. Log on to the IBM Content Navigator server as a user with access to the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool.
    2. Copy the profiles that you want to back up from the configure/profiles subdirectory of the IBM Content Navigator installation directory. Each profile is a folder that contains the files that are required to build and deploy a specific instance of IBM Content Navigator. You can copy the profiles to another directory on the server or onto a network directory or similar location where the files will be accessible but secure.
    3. To restore the configuration profiles, copy the profile folders back to the configure/profiles directory on the IBM Content Navigator server.
