Backing up and restoring the ObjectServer

It is important to have a comprehensive back up solution in place, in case the ObjectServer fails and needs to be recovered, for example, after a hardware failure. It is recommended to have one or more of the following options in use to ensure a speedy recovery after an outage.

  • Solution delivery SQL files - SQL files that can be used to build the ObjectServer
  • SQL files exported by nco_osreport - can be used to rebuild the ObjectServer
  • Backup copies of master_store.tab and table_store.tab files
This section covers the preceding options and provides a comprehensive strategy for backing up your ObjectServers and how to recover them in the event of an outage.
