• Last Successful Backup Time—completion time of latest successful backup
• Last Successful Backup Type—type of latest successful backup

Note 1 — Alcatel-Lucent recommends that when you back up the
5620 SAM database, you also back up the NE configuration backup files
that are stored on the file system of a main server. See section 14.8 for
information.
Note 2 — The 5620 SAM backs up the Oracle encryption wallet during a
database backup, and restores the wallet during a database restore. In
a redundant deployment, the 5620 SAM automatically replicates the
encryption wallet from the primary to the standby database after the
standby database reinstantiation.
Note 3 — During a database backup, the performance of GUI or OSS
operations may be affected. Alcatel-Lucent recommends performing a
database backup only during a period of low 5620 SAM activity.
