Policy Model Backup

When you back up a PMDB, you copy the data in the Policy Model database to another directory. This includes:

• policy information
• the list of the Policy Model's subscribers
• configuration settings
• registry entries
• the updates.dat file

You cannot restore a PMDB from backup files that use another platform, operating system, or version of CA ControlMinder. Ensure you back up the Policy Model to a host running the same platform, operating system, and version of CA ControlMinder.
