Back up the WebSphere Portal file system

Periodically run an automated backup procedure for the IBM WebSphere Portal file system.

  1. If we are performing an online backup, go to Step 3.

  2. If we are performing an offline backup, stop all servers.

    1. If applicable, stop all external HTTP servers.

    2. Stop all of the WebSphere Portal servers.

  3. Back up all 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.

  5. Back up other WebSphere Application Server files under the directory APPSERVER_ROOT.

  6. Back up the IBM Installation Manager agent data location. This location contains information about the installed offerings and fixes. For details on the default location of this directory, see Agent Data Location in the Related information section.

  7. Back up additional custom files outside of the PortalServer, profile, or AppServer directories; such as SSL certificates or shared libraries; the WebSphere Portal server might use.
