TIBCO Object Service Broker provides you with the flexibility to meet the backup and recovery requirements of your site whether you need regularly scheduled full system backups or a continuous backup approach that you can use to stay fully operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your TIBCO Support representative can help you build a backup and recovery plan that integrates one or both of these approaches to suit your requirements.
You must perform a full system backup when you first install TIBCO Object Service Broker. Depending upon your system availability requirements, you can also use this full system backup methodology as part of your regularly scheduled backup procedures. There are two ways you can perform a traditional full system backup:
The continuous backup process enables you to maintain 24‑hour operations and ensure full system recoverability at all times. Using the continuous backup approach, you never have to shut TIBCO Object Service Broker down for a routine backup. The continuous backup combines the most recent backups with the updates written out to the journal data sets to produce a complete and current backup copy.
In the current release, all pagestore headers and journal records store the date and time in UTC time. That is, the time of the hardware clock without the local offset.
