Backing up and Restoring eG Enterprise
Instead, provide the name of a new ‘dummy’ database for use as the eG
backend.
Replace the eGurkha directory of the new manager with that of
the manager in backup.
Next, run the changeManagerSettings.bat and
changeAgentSettings.bat files from the \lib
directory to change the IP address/host name of the eG
manager and agent.
Replace the old eG manager license with a new license
generated for the new IP address/hostname.
Finally, start the eG manager.
5.3 Backing up and Restoring the eG Database
eG uses MS SQL and Oracle databases to store its persistent data. The best practices for backing up
and restoring the eG database are the ones recommended by the database vendor themselves. These
documents can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/ or http://www.oracle.com/. The exact URLs will
vary depending upon the type and version being used, and can be easily found using the Search
options given in the sites.
5.4 Mandatory steps
If the database is in a different box, and only the manager setup is to be restored to the
same box from which it was backed up, then follow steps detailed in Section 5.1 and 5.2,
depending upon the operating system of the eG manager.
If the database alone is to be restored, then follow step 5.3 only
If both have to be restored, then alone follow steps 5.1 through 5.3.
Restart the system after this process before attempting to start the manager and/or the
agent
