Backing Up and Restoring the Database
Tip The SAN database stores important information such as administration groups,
device assignments, and customized device information. To preserve this data,
HP recommends backing up the database regularly and backing up the saved
database file with a standard backup utility.
SAN Manager LM prompts you to back up the database each time you exit the
administration application. In addition to this, you can back up the database at any time by
following the instructions below.
Tip To disable the prompt to back up the database each time you exit the
application, edit the Prompt on Quit registry setting. For more information, see
page 184.
