Backup & Recovery
After Every initial load it is recommended to take backup of ‘data area’, ‘log area’, and ‘configuration files’.
i) Backup of data area:This is done from persistent stage to external backup location
ii) Backup of log area: This is automatic activity by the system scheduler where we have to define level of logs to be captured.
iii) Backup of configuration files: Here we have all landscape settings, DB settings, privileges settings etc., in .INI file which is to be backuped manually.
