Backing Up IMSS Parent topic

After you have installed IMSS and configured the required settings, it is always prudent to create backups of the settings so that you can restore IMSS quickly in the event of a system failure.
You can choose to perform a full or minimal backup of IMSS as follows:
  • Full: Backs up all IMSS local configuration and binary files stored in /opt/trend and database-related files in /var/imss.
  • Minimal: Backs up only IMSS configuration settings stored in /opt/trend/imss/config.

  1. 1. The backup and restore instructions in this manual are targeted at the all-in-one deployment of IMSS. In the case of distributed deployment, you need to back up the following:
    1. The database files or tables on the computer(s) where you installed the databases.
    2. The local binary and configuration files on every computer where you installed IMSS components.
  2. If you perform a minimal backup, you may need to install previous hot fixes, patches, or service packs after restoring IMSS.
