BO backup

Former Member

Hi,

We are in the development stage and would like to take a backup of all BO componenets. I would like to know what is the best and easiest way to take a backup of BO componenets. We have BusinessObjects3.1 XI installed on windows 2008 server.

We were able to take a back up using business objects import wizard after which a BIAR file was created. My question is:

1. is this BIAR file is sufficient for recovery in case BO system crashes?

2. If not, what else we are supposed to do in order to have a complete back up of BO?

Any further questions please let me know.

Thanks,

Raman

Hi Raman,

BIAR file is a quick and dirty way to quickly archive your contents. It is not very reliable and therefore should not be your primary method of backup and recovery.

Instead, you need to talk to your DBA and your network admin to schedule synchronized backup of the system database (some call it the CMS database) and the Input/Output FRS.

Hope this helps.
