Backing up and restoring the database
IMPORTANT: In distributed deployment, DBMan is available only on the master server. | ||
DBMan is an automatic backup and restoration tool for the IMC platform and service component databases, and it provides a full-range system disaster backup solution. DBMan uses a standard 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 90.
