Creating a Manual Checkpoint

Prior to creating a checkpoint, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• Ensure that the backup and satellite realm services are connected and are in sync with their regular servers. For example, satellite is in sync with primary, backup is in sync with satellite, and backup is in sync with primary. For more information on the types of realm services, see the "Server Roles and Relationships" section in the TIBCO FTL^® Administration guide.
• Ensure that a quorum of state keepers is running.
• Optionally, switch the data grid to maintenance mode. This ensures that no writes to the data grid occur when the checkpoint is taken. After the checkpoint is created, remember to take the data grid out of maintenance mode.
