Backing up and recovering the application serving environment


WAS ND v7.0 uses many operating system and application resources that you should consider adding to the backup and recovery procedures.

WAS resources can be saved while WAS environment is active. When backing up database data, you may have to shut down some or all services if a snapshot cannot be obtained. This would occur if there are requests which obtain locks or have open transactions against the database being saved. In a distributed environment, you may need to consider how to get a consistent backup across several systems. If the data on systems is not closely related to data on other systems, you may be able to backup each system in isolation. If we need a snapshot across systems simultaneously, you may need to stop activity on all systems while the snapshot is taken.

How often you back up resources depends largely on when or how often you expect them to change.

 

 

Next steps

If the applications are using other resources or services that are external to WAS ND, remember to include those in the backup plan as well.
