Backing Up CA SOI Components

This section describes how to back up CA SOI components. Consider backing up CA SOI in the following situations:

If you want to move the installation to another server or reinstall and want to preserve post-installation configuration changes.
If you want to preserve a working CA SOI installation before making major changes in case errors occur.

The procedures apply to a typical CA SOI deployment. If you implemented a high availability deployment, multi-tiered deployment, or any other specialized deployment, these procedures may not be applicable, and extra steps may be required.
