Routine Maintenance Tasks
For All Servers
This section describes the routine maintenance tasks for the ECE servers. For database server, there are some
additional tasks that are listed in the section “Additional Tasks for Database Servers” on page 72.
Monitoring Disk Space
 Monitor and free space on disk volumes periodically by deleting the unnecessary files. Installation
programs, application logs, user profiles, Dr. Watson logs, temp files are known to occupy the space
unnecessarily. It is recommended that such files are deleted on a regular basis. However, if it is not possible
to free disk space further because of the size of the data, the administrator should plan archiving of old data,
or migration of the system to a larger capacity server.
Applying Microsoft Security Patches
 Apply the security patches released by Microsoft to plug vulnerabilities in the operating system and various
programs.
Creating Backup Copies
 Back up the Cisco_Home folder on the file, application, messaging, and services servers regularly. Exclude
the
log folder under Cisco_Home from the backup. The process of backing up the database is different. For
details, see the section “Additional Tasks for Database Servers” on page 72.
