Chapter 1 Upgrading, Downgrading, Backing Up and Restoring Software Files : Backing Up a Configuration Database File to an External Server

Backing Up a Configuration Database File to an External Server
When to Backup Externally
It is important that you backup configuration database files to an external remote server regularly to ensure that you have a set of backup files available in case your current configuration database becomes corrupted or otherwise unusable.
TIBCO recommends that you perform at least one configuration database backup to an external SFTP server daily. Furthermore, external backups should be done:
Backing Up Using a CLI User Account
To backup a configuration database file to an external remote server from the P-7500 system using a CLI user account:
1.
2.
Enter the enable command at the User EXEC Level prompt:
   tibco> enable
   tibco#
The P-7500 CLI is now in Privileged EXEC level.
3.
Enter this copy Privileged EXEC command to copy the desired configuration database file to the remote server from the system:
   tibco# copy current-config    scp://[username@]ip-addr/remote-pathname
where username, ip-addr, and remote-pathname point to the location where the current configuration database file is copied onto the remote server.
You have completed this procedure.
Backing Up Using an SFTP User Account
Backing up a configuration database file to an external server from the P-7500 system can also be done using File Transfer user account created through the username Global CONFIG command.
For example:
   [remote_machine]$ scp tma-8.7.0.0003-3mar2011.config pascal@192.168.129.82:/configs
