Backing up databases
Before you migrate to IBM BPM V8.0.1, create backup copies of your existing databases.
Backups enable you to revert to the pre-migration state of the databases at any time, if necessary.
You need to create a backup of the Process Center databases as well as the databases in each runtime environment.
Most databases provide a backup wizard or other user assistance for creating database backups. Contact your database administrator for more information.
