Introduction
HP Systems Insight Manager (Systems Insight Manager) uses a
PostgreSQL server database to store collected information
about the systems on your network. Always back up your
database using an appropriate backup schedule. In the event
of a catastrophic database problem, this backup can be
restored to return Systems Insight Manager to operation.
Important:
The procedures in this paper are only for backing up Systems Insight Manager core data from and
restoring core data to the same PostgreSQL database. It is not intended to be used as an example
for reinstallation of Systems Insight Manager or for data migration. HP does not guarantee the
integrity of partner data if you attempt to use these procedures for reinstallation or data
migration.
