3-7-1 Backing up the server database

CAUTION: To back up the Device Manager database, a folder for storing the backup file is

required. The capacity of this folder must be at least the total size of the following two folders:

•

The folder storing the Device Manager database

• The folder storing the Common Component database

NOTE: Do not use the Windows Services screen to start and stop Device Manager services

This capacity is a guideline value applied when only the Device Manager database is installed. If XP

Command View AE Suite products other than Device Manager are also installed, take the capacities

of those databases into account as well.

To back up the database:

1. If XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are earlier than 5.7 have been

installed, stop their services.

For details about how to stop these services, see the manual for your product version.

2. If XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are 5.7 or later have not been

installed, stop Common Component, and then start HiRDB. Execute the following commands

from the command prompt to start HiRDB:

<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdssrv /stop

<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdsdbsrv /start

The following shows an example of executing the commands:

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdssrv /stop

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdsdbsrv /start

3. Execute the hcmdsbackups command from the command prompt.

The auto option can be specified only when the XP Command View AE Suite products whose

versions are 5.7 or later have been installed:

<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdsbackups /dir target-

folder-for-storing-backup-files /auto

The following shows an example of executing the command:

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdsbackups /dir C:\TMP\backup /auto
