Hi Experts!
I work with BO since 2007. I worked a lot with BO XI 3.1 and now with BI 4.0. I always have a question about the way to make a backup: What is a best backup plan on BO 4.0.
I know de many way to do this, but how I'm a consultant developer and backup usually is not my responsibility, but always I have to advise my clients and users.
The little summary of ways I know on BI 4.0:
- Stop the services and do a backup of repository database and FileStore folder (eventually include the TomCat folder and others BO installation folders)
- Create a job on LCM and a schedule to export a LCMBIAR file
- Use the Upgrade Management Tool to generate a BIAR file by the command line
I found that interesting post of Raphael Branger, but his the best option is to use the 360View, but that software I don't know, and the clients usually want to use the SAP solutions, so the preference is use the BO's way to make backup.
Note: I agree with Raphael about the old Import Wizard, I don't know why Upgrade Management Tool don't allow to import a biar file that same version of target. It is terrible.
Let me make a the big question: What is a best backup plan on BO 4.0?
I know that this depends of the environment and the many variables, but let us consider the general environment, the standard installation.
Thanks everybody!
