You can back up categories, taxonomies, and cluster jobs (snapshots, cluster results, and spectrographs) either by submitting an action, or by using the IDOL Admin interface.
Run a BackupServer
action, with the Path
parameter set to the path to the directory where you want to store the backup for your categories, taxonomies, and cluster jobs:
http://IDOLhost:Categoryport/action=BackupServer&Path=C:\Backups\Category\
where:
IDOLhost
|
is the IP address or name of the machine on which HPE IDOL Server is installed. |
Categoryport
|
is the HPE IDOL Server ACI port of the Category component. You must send the BackupServer action directly to the Category Component (not to the default IDOL Proxy port). |
During the backup process, HPE IDOL Server stores temporary files in the directory that you can configure with the BackupDir
configuration parameter. It stores the final backup file in the path that you specify.
While HPE IDOL Server is processing a BackupServer
action, you cannot add, change, or remove categories, or run cluster jobs. You can, however, run actions that do not impact the data that is backed up. For example, you can use the ClusterResults
, ClusterSGDataServe
, CategoryQuery
actions.
On the Category Backup/Restore tab, click Backup.
The Backup
maintenance action backs up the category data to the backup directory that you specified by using the BackupDir
parameter in the [Server]
section of the category.cfg
configuration file. The Backup Action String field shows the action that is sent to IDOL Server.
