you click the Backup Now button on day 8, the backup is saved in the CURRENT folder because
the backup is recording the current state of the database. If your database fails, you can restore the
database from day 4, 7 or 8, as described in the following table:
Keep in mind the following:
• Only one user at a time can back up the database.
• The management server archives files for the backup in a separate directory. Do not modify the
files in this directory (\oracle\oradata\APPIQ\archive). For average database activity,
the management server requires at least 100 GB of disk space for archive files. If there is
higher database activity than average, more disk space may be required.
The following is saved during the backup:
• Management server RMAN backup files - These files contain information about the elements
your management server monitors.
• Oracle Network Configuration Files -The configuration files are tnsnames.ora and
listener.ora.
• CIM Repository
• Property files, such as jboss.properties
• rmanbackup.log file
• spfileappiq.ora file
To back up the database manually:
1. Before you can back up the database manually, you must enabled database archive mode and
RMAN backup as described in ” Setting the Archive Mode ” on page 238.
