Backup and restore on i5/OS
This section describes the data to back up, and the scripts needed to back up a WebSphere Portal Express profile on i5/OS.
On IBM® i5/OS, each IBM WebSphere® Portal Express configuration is known as a profile. Backing up WebSphere Portal Express on i5/OS involves saving an profile and all data associated with it. This data includes:
- The Integrated File System (IFS) directory of the profile
- The external HTTP server associated with the profile
- All WebSphere Portal Express database libraries associated with the profile
- WebSphere registry data associated with the profile
WebSphere Portal Express for i5/OS provides scripts to simplify offline backup and recovery of WebSphere Portal Express profiles. You can run the scripts manually from a QShell session, or schedule them as part of a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy. The scripts are found in the /QIBM/ProdData/PortalExpress/V6/Tools directory.
Online backups of WebSphere Portal Express are also possible using Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) for IBM System i5. For more information, see Systems management > Backup and recovery > Backup, Recovery and Media Services in the IBM eServer™ i5 Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/.
