Configuration restrictions and guidelines

To ensure correct operation, do not back up and restore IMC databases between different operating systems.

When you use DBMan to back up and restore IMC databases, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

• In automatic backup configuration, use the Upload to Backup System option to back up database files to a backup IMC system or an FTP server.

• The Upload to Backup System option requires one of the following configurations:

  • The Master Server IP of Backup System is specified for database backup.

  • An FTP server is configured in the dbman_ftp.conf file in the \dbman\etc directory of the IMC installation path. For example:

    ftp_ip=1.1.1.1
    ftp_user=admin
    ftp_password=1234
    

• To add additional backup and restoration settings, edit the dbman_addons.conf file in the \dbman\etc directory of the IMC installation path. The settings take effect immediately after the file is saved.

  For example, add the following strings to the dbman_addons.conf file to specify tasks to perform before or after database restoration:

  BeforeSQLScript_monitor_db_IMC_monitor = D:\1.bat
  AfterSQLScript_monitor_db_IMC_monitor = D:\2.bat
