Backing Up the Database
The Database Backup feature allows you to backup Visualization data that includes user
details, user application usage details, flow data, Layer 7 data, devices and corresponding
ports details and any generated reports.
You may want to back up your database periodically to protect its integrity or for
historical purposes. Data can be backed up to the OmniVista SafeGuard Manager server
or an outside server as long as it is accessible to the OmniVista SafeGuard Manager
server.
Database backup is performed to save a known good state of the system in case of
disaster recovery.
