Manually Backing Up Archived Databases

CA Enterprise Log Manager creates a new archived database automatically each time data is moved from hot to warm storage, as controlled by your settings. Although it is recommended that you configure auto-archive to move warm databases to a remote server, you can use your own tools to perform backups of the archive databases and then run the LMArchive utility to notify the system that you performed the backup.

We recommend that you back up your warm databases daily, using either the automated method or the manual method described here. This is important since warm-storage archive files are automatically deleted after the time you specify or when disk space drops to the percentage you specify.

Backing up warm databases manually involves the following steps:

  1. Identify the warm databases that are not yet backed up.
  2. Perform the backups.
  3. Record the backups.
