To protect the data in your UDDI registry database, we can back up and restore the database using the facilities of the database product that your UDDI node is on.
- To back up an Apache Derby UDDI registry database, use the following steps:
- Ensure the UDDI application is stopped, and therefore is not accessing the Apache Derby database.
- Ensure that no other application is using the Apache Derby UDDI30 database.
- Copy the UDDI30 directory using the file system the directory is in.
- To restore an Apache Derby UDDI registry database, replace the UDDI30 file structure with the backup copy. Remember that any updates made after the backup was taken are lost.
- To back up a UDDI registry database that does not use Apache Derby, use the appropriate backup and restore tools for the database. To use these tools, refer to the documentation for the database product.
