Hitachi Global Link Manager Software Installation and Configuration Guide

• Migrating (exporting and importing) the database
• Changing the storage location of the database
To perform database operations, you need to execute a backup and restore of
the Global Link Manager property files and the path availability information
(path status log). The property files to be backed up and restored are as
follows:
•
server.properties
•
logger.properties
•
database.properties
The following table shows the functional differences between backing up and
restoring on the one hand and exporting and importing on the other.
