Back Up Search Files

All stored procedures (SPs) and search definitions are stored in the CMS database, so these will be covered by your general database backup procedures. Backing up and restoring the CMS database is described in the Database guide; search the index for ‘backups’.

However, we strongly recommend that you also back up any .sql and .xml files created for your custom searches so that you can reapply these if you need to rebuild your CMS database.

Note: The .sql and .xml files for the default searches are available on the CA DataMinder distribution media if you need to rebuild your CMS database.
