What is the best way to backup ELM Server configuration data?
Every ten seconds the ELM Server polls for configuration changes. If it detects any, the ELM Server creates a backup of its current configuration data. This file has a .BAK extension (e.g., EEMSVR.BAK). You can also manually backup the ELM Server configuration from within the ELM Console. ELM also stores a small amount of data in the Windows registry. This includes both software-specific settings, and COM component registration information. It is essential that you also take regular backups of your registry. In Windows NT 4.0, you can preserve this data by backing up the Registry with NT Backup or a third-party application. In Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the registry and COM registration database are backed up as part of the System State Data. We also strongly recommend regular backups of your ELM Server database, as it contains all of the data collected from Agents. You can back up this data with NT Backup or a third-party application.
