9-1 Before managing the database
This section describes how to perform the following operations for the Device Manager server
database:
Backing up
Restoring the backed-up data
Migrating the database (exporting and importing)
Initializing the database
Because XP Provisioning Manager uses the Device Manager server database, XP Provisioning
Manager data will also be backed up or restored when you back up or restore the Device Manager
server database. To back up or restore XP Provisioning Manager data, you perform the operations
on the Device Manager server database.
The following table describes backing up and restoring, as opposed to exporting and importing.
