32.2 Backing Up the Topology/Alarm Database

You should plan to regularly back up the Novell ZENworks Server Management database. In Novell ConsoleOne, follow this procedure to back up the topology/alarm database:

  1. Right-click the Site Server object > select Properties.

  2. Select the Database Administration tab.

  3. Enter the path of the directory to back up.

    You can back up the database files to any volume on the management server only.

  4. Click Apply.

    Novell ZENworks Server Management sends a remote SQL command to store the file. The four MW*.DB and mw.log files are copied to the backup directory.
