Cloud and hybrid backup and restore

Learn how to back up and restore your cloud or hybrid deployment.

For cloud deployments, complete the following tasks. For hybrid deployments, complete the following tasks for your cloud components and also complete the tasks in the On-premises backup and restore section for your on-premises components.

ObjectServer backup and restore

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
Backup copies of master_store.tab and table_store.tab files
SQL files exported via nco_osreport - can be used to rebuild the ObjectServer

For more information, see Backing up and restoring the ObjectServer Launch out icon

in the IBM® Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus documentation.

You can use the Runbooks API to export and import runbooks that are stored in the default database. For more information, see Export and import runbooks. You can also use one of the sample runbooks to guide you through that process. For more information, see Load and reset example runbooks.

Example: Import runbooks from an existing runbook deployment
Example: Migrate runbooks and triggers from existing deployment to new deployment

Alternatively you can store some or all of your runbooks in GitHub. For more information, see Extending the runbook Library with runbooks from GitHub.
