Backing up databases
Before you migrate to IBM BPM V8.0.1, create backup copies of your existing databases.
Although the installation of IBM BPM V8.0.1 does not modify existing databases, it is still prudent to create database backups.
You must 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.
