Configuration restrictions and guidelines

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

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

• 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 conditions:

  • 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
