Backing up the installation
Before you begin exporting InfoSphere® Information Server from your source computer and after you complete the import process on the target computer, you should back up the installation.
In the following cases, backing up the installation before
you begin the export process is highly recommended:
- If you are uninstalling InfoSphere Information Server and replacing it with a new installation on the same machine
- If you are doing a side-by-side migration
- If the target system is on separate hardware
Backing up the target system after you complete the import process is optional, but highly recommended.
Back up your
installation by using one of these procedures based on the version
of the source installation:
