Installation Note 35554: Best practices for backing up and restoring your system
What does SAS need to have backed up on your system? What will need to be restored?
For answers, see the documentation listed below.
SAS® 9.3 Information
The SAS 9.3 Metadata Server includes a new server-based facility that performs metadata server backups automatically, on a scheduled basis, without the need for administrator intervention. This facility can also be used to perform ad hoc backups and to perform roll-forward recovery. The facility replaces the %OMABAKUP macro, which was available in SAS® 9.1 and 9.2, and the Backup and Restore Wizard in SAS Management Console, which was available in SAS® 9.2.
For the most up-to-date information, see the
SAS® 9.3 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide
SAS® 9.2 Information
For the most up-to-date information, see the
SAS® 9.2 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide
If you back up more than one tier, be sure to give each backup a unique name, so that the backups are not overwritten.
