How to back up a CMS

We recommend that you make a full backup of your CA DLP database on the CMS at least once per week, and incremental backups on a daily basis.

1. Back up essential registry keys on your CMS.
2. For SQL Server databases, set up maintenance plans for your system databases and your CA DLP database.

   For Oracle databases, set up a backup schedule.

3. Add the CA DLP data folder into your existing backup regime.

How to restore a CMS

1. Stop the CA DLP infrastructure.
2. Re-import the master encryption registry key that is used by the original installation.
3. Restore the CA DLP data folder.
4. Restore the CMS database.
5. Reinstall CA DLP on the CMS server.
