Backing Up and Restoring Product Manager Data

As long as a Zip disk remains in the Zip drive of the HP EFC server, critical information
from both the Product Manager and HP EFC Manager applications automatically backs up
to the Zip disk when the data directory contents change or when you reboot the HP EFC
server.
The application used for this function is Iomega QuikSync, a separate application installed
on the HP EFC server. QuikSync is configured to automatically mirror the contents of the
EfcData directory to the Zip drive when the contents are changed or when you reboot the
HP EFC server. This directory contains all HP EFC Manager and Product Manager data, so
it can be copied back to a newly restored HP EFC server to fully recover the preferred
operating environment.
The QuikSync application and a Zip drive may not be available if you are using a customer-
supplied (non-HP supported) server platform for the EFC Management applications.
The mirroring operation will only occur while a user is logged in to Windows 2000 on the
HP EFC server PC (independent of the HP EFC Manager login).
The data contained in the EfcData directory and mirrored to the Zip disk includes the
following:
•
All HP EFC Manager configuration including:
– Product definitions
– User names, encrypted passwords, and user rights
– Nicknames
– Session options
– HP EFC Manager SNMP configurations
– E-mail configuration
•
All log files (both HP EFC Manager log files and individual Product Manager log files).
