Backing up and restoring the database
DBMan is the automatic backup and restoration tool for the IMC platform and service component databases, and provides a full-range system disaster backup solution. DBMan uses a standard database backup and restoration mechanism to process the complete databases.
DBMan supports both manual and automatic database backup and restoration. It is integrated in the Environment tab of the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent, as shown in Figure 76.
