Learn how to back up and restore data on Netezza Performance Server. The sections provide general information about the backup and restore methods, and also describe how to use the third-party storage solutions.

Tip: Make sure that you schedule regular backups of your user databases and your system catalog to ensure that you can restore your system. Make sure that you run backups before and after major system changes so that you have “snapshots” of the system before and after those changes. A regular and current set of backups can protect against loss of data that can occur because of disaster recovery, hardware failure, accidental data loss, or incorrect changes to existing databases.
