You should take the backup of home directory and

/home/dbdata directory on the host machine, twice a

week with some time interval before configuring or

performing maintenance activity on a site. Both the folders

are stored in the root directory. You can check their location

by executing the following command at root:

$ls

Perform the following steps for system backup:

1. On the host machine make a directory in the root by the

given below command:

mkdir <directory_name>

2. Change to newly create directory by the given below

command:

cd <directory_name>

3. Copy the home folder to this directory from the system

where OMC is installed by using the below command:

scp -r [<user@><from-host>:]<source-file>

[<user@><to-host>:][<destination-file>]

4. If connection is successful, the system prompts for

password. Provide the password of the system.
