Introduction This document provides examples for backing up databases for IMC that runs on Windows in centralized deployment and uses a remote database server.
Prerequisites The IMC system is deployed in centralized mode and uses a remote database server.
Example: Backing up IMC databases to a remote database server Network requirements IMC uses a Windows SQL database server. Perform the following tasks to back up the IMC databases on the remote database server:
Install the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent on the database server.
Configure automatic or manual database backup in IMC.
Installing the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent on the database server 1.
On the database server, access the install directory of the IMC installation package.
2.
Right-click the installslave.bat file, and then select Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. The Address of Master page appears, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Configuring the IP address of the master server
