When you back up the CMS, you must perform these backup tasks irrespective of the type of database engine used on the CMS.
The CA DataMinder data folder holds all the configuration data and captured data used by your CA DataMinder installation. You need to incorporate this folder into your existing backup regime. We recommend you back up this folder every week. By default, when you install CA DataMinder this folder is added as a \Data subfolder in the installation folder, but you can rename it and locate it anywhere suitable on your network.
The CMS uses a protected registry key to provide highly secure data management. If you need to restore the CMS, you will need to restore this registry key. To do this, CA DataMinder provides the data management utility wgnmgmt.exe for exporting and re-importing this key. Find this utility in the \Support folder on your CA DataMinder distribution media.
After installing your CMS, you must run wgnmgmt.exe on the CMS machine to export a password-protected file containing the necessary registry details. The command line syntax:
wgnmgmt e <filename> <password>
Where <filename> is the name of the target file, for example, master_encryption.dat. And <password> is the password you use to re-import the registry key. The password must be at least five characters long.
Important! Keep this file in a secure location, for example, on a floppy disk in a fire-proof safe.
