Backing up a deployment

An effective backup strategy considers the key components in your deployment and to assess the impact of creating replica versions versus the cost of replacing those components if the system fails. All live deployments of i2 Analyze should have a backup strategy in place.

The items that you back up can include not only databases, but also search indexes and the customized files that are used to deploy the system.

When you create a backup strategy, it is important to consider the impact of data loss. Other considerations include:

The amount of time, if any, that is acceptable for a system to be offline to create backups.
The amount of time that is acceptable for a system to be offline while recovery is in progress.
The amount of data, if any, that is acceptable to be unrecoverable by the system.
