VIEW_OPT_TBACKUP

Description

This health check allows you to review and choose the best TBACKUP setting for your needs. CA View database backups occur automatically or can be manually triggered through operator commands. When TBACKUP=NO is set, the backup cycle runs and deletes expired reports. The master index and the new report data are not written to a backup tape. If a hardware or software error occurs, the database cannot be restored using CA View utilities.

Best Practice

Back up the CA View database using the CA View utilities which is the only way to create a valid backup without taking an outage. Full volume backups are only valid if all archiving tasks, FSS collectors and Deliver started tasks are down. If the TBACKUP parameter is set to NO, the CA View started task does not create a backup tape.
