Disaster recovery procedures

Configuring a disaster recovery backup system
The configuration data of your system describes the IBM Business Process Manager environment. Set up the disaster recovery data center to have the same configuration as the primary data center so that any recovery can be complete.

Backing up runtime data by using a SAN drive
The runtime data of your system is the information that is stored in transaction logs and compensation logs. You can use a storage area network (SAN) drive to copy files from your primary data center to a standby server.

Storing transaction logs in a database for high availability
You can configure transaction logs to be stored in a database where you can implement automatic replication and simpler disaster recovery.

Restoring data
If a disaster occurs in the primary data center, you can continue to provide business support if you have a valid backup. You restore the backup to the secondary data center and then verify the restored data.

Verifying restored data
After you restore the backup of your production environment to the secondary data center, verify the data to determine whether the backup is a valid copy.
