Backing up and restoring a multi-instance broker

How you back up and restore a multi-instance broker.

Before you start:

To ensure that the backup is complete and correct, back up the broker when the broker is stopped, or when it is not processing a configuration change (such as a deployment or property change).

When you back up a multi-instance broker, you back up the registry and configuration from the shared work path of the broker and its associated instances.

Hence you perform the backup procedure described in this topic for the multi-instance broker only. There are no additional steps for backing up the associated instances of the broker.

When you restore a multi-instance broker, you re-create associated instances by using the mqsiaddbrokerinstance command.

Back up a multi-instance broker in the standard way by using the mqsibackupbroker command. Do this by using the following command:
```
 mqsibackupbroker MB1 -d /BackupDirectory/WMB
```
where:
- MB1 is the name of the broker.
- /BackupDirectory/WMB is the directory in which the backup file is created.
The command detects a multi-instance broker and backs up the registry and configuration from the shared work path of the broker.

There are no additional backup steps for the associated instances of the broker.
Restore a multi-instance broker in the standard way by using the mqsirestorebroker command. Do this by using the following command:
```
 mqsirestorebroker MB1 -d /BackupDirectory/WMB -a 20091009.zip
```
where:
- MB1 is the name of the broker.
- /BackupDirectory/WMB is the directory in which the backup file is stored.
- 20091009.zip is the name of the backup (archive) file.
The command detects a multi-instance broker and restores the registry and configuration to the shared work path of the broker.
Re-create associated instances of the multi-instance broker by using the mqsiaddbrokerinstance command. See the mqsiaddbrokerinstance command for further information.
