Backing Up IMSS Settings

Procedure

1. Check the IMSS 7.1 SP2 Patch 1 components installed on your server.
   The following table lists the detailed mapping relationships between component names and home folders.

   Component Name	Home Folder
   imss-7.1	$IMSS_HOME
   imsscctrl	$IMSS_HOME Note This home folder exists only on the parent server.
   imsseuq	$IMSS_HOME
   nrs	$NRS_HOME
   ipprofiler	$IPP_HOME

   Note If you do not know the home folder, run the following command: rpm -ql Components Name|tee 2|head -1

2. Stop the cron service and back up IMSS 7.1 settings.
   • If your operating system is Red Hat 7 or higher, run the following commands:
     systemctl stop crond.service
     crontab -l >cronlist.bak
   • If your operating system is lower than Red Hat 7, run the following commands:
     service crond stop
     crontab -l >cronlist.bak
3. Stop IMSS 7.1 message traffic for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Stop all IMSS 7.1 processes using the following commands:
   $IMSS_HOME/imss/script/imssstop.sh stop

   $NRS_HOME/nrs/imssstop.sh

   $IPP_HOME/ipprofiler/script/imssstop.sh
5. Back up the Postfix configuration files using the following command:
   tar cvf postfix_config.tar /etc/postfix
6. Back up the home folder for all IMSS 7.1 components installed.
   tar cvf imss71.tar /$IMSS_HOME/imss

   tar cvf nrs.tar /$NRS_HOME/nrs

   tar cvf ipprofiler.tar /$IPP_HOME/ipprofiler
7. If IMSS 7.1 is not installed in the default path and uses the internal database, back up the database using the following command:
   tar cvf default_path_folder.tar /opt/trend/imss
8. Back up the RPM database-related data using the following command:
   tar cvf rpm.tar /var/lib/rpm
9. Back up the IMSS 7.1 database.
   • If you use the IMSS 7.1 bundled PostgreSQL to manage the database, complete the following:
     1. Stop the PostgreSQL server using the following command:
        $IMSS_HOME/imss/script/dbctl.sh stop
     2. Back up the PostgreSQL data using the following command:
        tar cvf imssdb.tar /var/imss
   • If you use your own PostgreSQL server to manage the IMSS 7.1 database, perform either a cold physical backup or a hot logical backup.
