RME database

[u346874_2]

I am going to do RME database restore.

Any idea where stores those database backups. How often does RME do those database backups and can i manage that action.

By default, backups are not enabled

What version of RME?

Hai,

go to ciscoworks installed directory(ex:C:\program Files\CSCOpx)

cd bin

give the following commande

perl restorebackup.pl

[-d BackupDirectory] [-gen GenerationNumber] [-t TempDirectory]

[-help]

the options are

[-d BackupDirectory] Directory where RME 3.4 or RME 3.5 backup

data is available. This is mandatory.

• [-gen GenerationNumber] Version to be migrated to RME4.0. By

default, it will restore the latest backup data. If generations 1 through

5 exist, then 5 will be the latest. This is optional.

• [-t TempDirectory] Temporary directory used by restore framework

to extract the content of backup archive. By default the temporary

directory is created under NMSROOT as

NMROOT/tempBackupData. You can customize this, by using this -t

option, where you can specify your own temp directory. This is to

avoid overloading NMSROOT. This will be deleted after the data

restoration is complete. This is optional.

U should know where the backup is stored...

If u scheduled hte backup uc an see the directory in which it is stored.

give that path for backup directory

Hope this information is useful if so pls rate this :)

Hi,

I have read through your reply to a backup restore issue and I thought you may be able to help.

I have run a scheduled weekly backup from Common Services>Server>Admin>Backup for sometime now.

I now have to prove the backups work.

I have run the restorebackup.pl command and runs ok for a good while then I get the following message flashing on my monitor:

ERROR: Unable to close LOG_HANDLER

ERROR: Error in extracting single file.

Any advice on this as I have tried this 3 times but to no avail?

There is no relevant info in the restore logs either.

When I stop the ERROR: Unable to close LOG_HANDLER

ERROR: Error in extracting single file.

I then get ERROR: Error in executing the tar command [-1]

ERROR: Unable to close LOG_HANDLER

ERROR: Unable to delete directory g:\CISCOW~1.5\tempBackupData in deleteDirector

y()

Restore failed.

I run LMS2.5, CS 3.0.4, CM 4.0.4, DFM 2.0.3, RME 4.0.4 on a Windows 2000 server.

I do hope you can shed some light on the matter.

Thanx in advance.

To schedule (or perform) backups, go to:

Common Services -> Server -> Admin -> Backup

You may specify the directory to backup to there

(as well as frequency and generations)
