    1. If applicable, stop all external HTTP servers.

    2. Stop all of the HCL WebSphere Portal servers.

  3. Back up all HCL WebSphere Portal files and subdirectories under the directory PORTAL_HOME.

  4. Back up all IBM WebSphere Application Server files under the directory WP_PROFILE to capture the complete runtime environment.
