Database backup and restore

The Database tab of the Server Management Console allows you to back up and restore the Fabric

Manager database (fabmandb). The Database Server must be running when you back up the

database, and it must be stopped when you restore the database.

NOTE

You should periodically back up the database for disaster recovery and so that the database

transaction log does not get too large.
