To save the HP SIM configuration and database by using Microsoft SQL Server Management
Studio:
1. Use a file management tool to save the directories and files listed in Table 1. Substitute
<SIM> with the pathname of the location where SIM is installed (for example,
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager).
You must use a file management tool that preserves file permissions (such as the Windows
Backup tool) while saving directories and files.
