Disaster recovery preparation (continued)
DescriptionTask
Back up the database at least weekly. The database stores
important data such as security policies, events, and groups.
See “Backing up the database” on page 149.
Back up database
Backing up the database
Symantec recommends that you back up the database at least weekly. You should
store the backup file on another computer.
Note: Avoid saving the backup file in the product installation directory. Otherwise,
the backup file is removed when the product is uninstalled. The default installation
directory is C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Protection Center.
The database backup might take several minutes to complete.
To back up the database
1
On the computer that runs Symantec Protection Center, on the Start menu,
click All Programs > Symantec Protection Center > Symantec Protection
Center Tools > Database Back Up and Restore.
2
In the Database Back Up and Restore dialog box, click Back Up.
3
Click Yes.
4
Click OK.
5
When the database backup completes, click Exit.
6
Copy the backup database file to another computer of your choice.
By default, the backup database file is named date_timestamp.zip. The file is
saved in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Protection Center\data\backup
Moving the server
This disaster recovery method moves Symantec Protection Center to a computer
that does not run Symantec Protection Center.
Disaster recovery requires that you have a backup of the Server Private Key Backup
folder.
