Data BackupLocate this document in the navigation structure

Manage and protect data by performing a backup.

On Linux and Solaris systems, back up:
  • Project files ending in .ccl, .ccr, and .ccx in the workspace folder, /SybaseESP/5.1/workspace, unless you overrode the default when installing ESP.
  • The cluster.log.properties file in $STREAMING_HOME/cluster/config/<cluster-name>.
  • Security configuration files in $STREAMING_HOME/security.
  • Log store files in the folder you specified when you created the log stores.
  • Any external files used by your projects.
On Windows systems, back up:
  • Project files ending in .ccl, .ccr, and .ccx in the workspace folder, /SybaseESP/5.1/workspace unless you overrode the default when installing ESP.
  • The cluster database file, $STREAMING_HOME/cluster/config/<cluster-name>/esp_cluster.db.
  • The cluster.log.properties file in >%STREAMING_HOME%/cluster/config/<cluster-name>.
  • Security configuration files in %STREAMING_HOME%\security, if you have modified them.
  • Log store files in the folder you specified when you created the log stores.
  • ODBC.INI file in C:\Windows if you are using the ODBC driver for ESP.
  • Any external files used by your projects.

You can create either offline or online backups. An offline backup is preferred because it performs the backup on all machines, and is quicker than an online backup. You also do not need to individually rename files and file extensions when restoring data, as you would with an online backup. However, you can create an online backup by backing up projects and log stores while the project server is running, if necessary.

Note Make sure to add all files to the backup set. Generally, these files have the same name, but different extensions, and are all stored in the same directory. Ensure that all projects and associated log stores are backed up.
