Back Up the SAS 9.1.3 System

As a best practice, we recommend that you make sure that you have an up-to-date operating system backup of your SAS 9.1.3 deployment. If you have a multi-machine deployment, this means your SAS Metadata Server machine, server tier, middle tier, and data tier. Make sure that you have shut down the SAS 9.1.3 Metadata Server and have backed up the following:

• SAS 9.1.3 configuration and metadata repository directories

  By default, these directories are:

  • Windows:

    C:\SAS\configuration-directory\Levn

  • UNIX:

    /users/sas/SAS/configuration-name/Levn

• SAS 9.1.3 product and data directories

  By default, these directories are:

  • Windows:

    C:\Program Files\SAS

  • UNIX:

    /usr/local/SAS

• Windows Registry on the SAS 9.1.3 Metadata Server machine.

  For more information, refer to your Windows documentation.

CAUTION:

As you would with any backup, run these backups through your site's validation procedures to be confident of their integrity before proceeding with your SAS migration.
