Backup of SIM?

[Adam Nickells]

Hi,

is there a recommended way to backup SIM 4.1? The database is easy enouhg; just use the standard SQL backup. Does this backup the whole SIM configuration as well though?

Cheers,

Adam

The database contains all of the "dynamic" information from user interaction (creating new lists, reports, etc) and data collection. There are some rather "static" pieces of information that some administrators might configure (e.g. adding new ports to scan in the file AdditionalWSdisc.props) that aren't part of the database. In addition to routine backups of the database, it would be good to grab \Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager every once in a while.

Thanks for that.
