Back Up a CA EEM Application Instance

You can perform a backup of a CA Enterprise Log Manager application instance from the internal CA EEM server on the management server.

To back up an application instance

1. Access the CA EEM server with the following URL:

   https://<servername>:5250/spin/eiam
   

2. Expand the Application list on the login page and select the application instance name you used when you installed your CA Enterprise Log Manager servers.

   The default application instance name for CA Enterprise Log Manager is CAELM.

3. Log in as the EiamAdmin user or a user with the CA EEM Administrator role.
4. Access the Configure tab and then select the EEM Server subtab.
5. Select the Export Application item in the left side navigation pane.
6. Select all options except the check box, Override the Max Search Size.

   Note: If you are using an external directory, do not select the options, Global Users, Global Groups, and Global Folders.

7. Click Export to create an XML export file for the application instance.

   The File Download dialog displays the file name, <AppInstanceName>.xml.gz, for example CAELM.xml.gz and a Save button.

8. Click Save and select your backup location on a mapped, remote server. Or save the file locally and then copy or move this file to your backup location on another server.
