Backing up the configuration files

The ProtecTIER Replication Manager configuration files are automatically backed
up and saved by default. However, you can choose to cancel the automatic
configuration file backups and perform the operation manually. The following task
explains how to manually back up the Replication Manager configuration files.
About this task
Backups of the configuration files from ProtecTIER Replication Manager are saved
as a .zip file.
Automatic backups can be cancelled by deselecting the Backup configuration files
checkbox found on the Backup tab under the Tools > Preferences window in the
Grids Management view.
From the Preferences window, you can also specify the number of backup files to
save (the default is 20). The backup is done by rotation on the saved files. For
instance, the backup files are named consecutively from gm_backup.0 to
gm_backup.20. When a new backup is generated, gm_backup.0 is renamed to
gm_backup.1 and the new backup is saved as gm_backup.0. This continues until the
backups reach the total number saved and the old backups are deleted.
