We will first perform a manual backup. Therefore, we use the IN-VSN server

To achieve a higher level of disaster recoverability, we recommend that you place
this database file on a mapped network drive, rather than use the management
PC. By doing this, you can recover from the total destruction of the management
PC. Another way of increasing recoverability is to perform periodic tape backups
using backup software such as Tivoli Storage Manager.
