Backing Up db_ControlManager Using SQL Server Management Studio

When using SQL Server, use the SQL Server Management Studio to back up the Control Manager database.

Note:

Trend Micro recommends regular backups of the Control Manager database. Always back up when you are about to modify the Control Manager database (for example, adding or installing a managed product).

  1. From the Control Manager server, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server <version> > SQL Server Management Studio. <version> is the version of SQL Server Management Studio.
  2. On the menu bar, click View > Object Explorer. In the Object Explorer panel, double-click <Host\Instance Name>, then double-click Databases. <Host\Instance Name> is the SQL server host name and the SQL instance name.
  3. Right-click db_ControlManager and then click Tasks > Back up.
  4. Under Backup set, provide the name and description.
  5. Under Source > Backup Type, select Full.
  6. Under Destination, click Add to specify the backup file destination.
  7. Click OK when the message "The backup operation has been completed successfully." appears.
