The IBM Content Manager OnDemand database needs routine maintenance to ensure performance and reliability. Depending on the volume and age of your system, you may want to run these options more or less frequently. | |||
<code> arsdb -I ARCHIVE -msv </code> | |||
Regular backups are a wise part of any maintenance window. For online backups, use: | |||
<code> arsdb -I ARCHIVE -zv </code> | |||
And for offline backups, use: | |||
<code> arsdb -I ARCHIVE -yv </code> | |||
=== Special Note about Database Backups === | |||
arsdb is a great way to do very simple online or offline backups, regardless of your underlying database engine. Some companies prefer to do their database backups through a different method. For example, DB2 provides for incremental and differential backups, in addition to online or offline backups. There are also options for enabling database backup compression, or backing up directly to tape via a facility like [[Tivoli Storage Manager]]. You will want to work with your [[Glossary#Acronyms|DBAs]] to ensure your backups are recoverable and complete, regardless of which method you choose. | |||
