9 Backing up and restoring the Enterprise Manager
database
The administrator uses the backup and restore utility to make periodic backups of the configuration
and device data that is stored in Enterprise Manager.
Taking periodic backup of the database helps to restore the configuration data, if Enterprise
Manager crashes at a later point in time.
