Database backup procedures and schedules

Before creating databases and schema repositories, administrators should establish procedures and schedules for regular backups. Backups can be performed using backup tools provided by the database vendors and third parties.

Backups should also be performed before moving schema repositories or user databases.

Back up all schema repositories and all associated user databases at the same time. This practice preserves both data and customizations, and ensures that schema repositories and user databases are synchronized in case they need to be restored from a backup.

Consult your database administrator or database vendor for assistance in backing up or restoring your vendor databases.
