Conditions for com-
puters
The following sections describe the procedure for each operation separately.
Backing up databases
If an error occurs in the database, the management server might not be able to be used. As a
preparatory measure, therefore, back up the database regularly.
To back up a database, a directory for storing backup files is required. This directory requires space
equal to the formula below. In addition to the estimate below, space is required for the temporary
files created during backup.
