To back up data, complete the procedure.
Procedure
- To stop IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis,
use the unity.sh script that is in the <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/utilities directory:
./unity.sh -stop
- Create a backup directory where you will store the backup
files. Do not create this directory in the same directory in which IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis is
installed. This directory is called the backup directory or <backup_dir> in
this procedure.
- From the <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/utilities/migration directory,
run the following command:
./backup_restore.sh <backup_dir> backup
where <backup_dir> is
the directory that you created in step 2. The backup directory that
you specify must be empty.The backup command creates a set of archive
files in the backup directory.
Results
When you run the backup command, IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis creates
a zipped file that contains the archived data.
The zipped files
have the word restore in the file name and are numbered sequentially.
For example, LogAnalytics_30Jul2014_Restore_001.zip.
These are the files that you can use later to restore the data.
The
command also generates reference files. These files are stored in
a separate archive file. The file name contains the words BackupOnly,
for example LogAnalytics_30Jul2014_BackupOnly_001.zip.
You do not need to restore these.
