Backing Up System Data

For platform data, back up Unwired Server runtime databases and Sybase Control Center (SCC) repositories using the process described for SQL Anywhere databases. Messaging database requires its own process.

Unwired Server

For a Developer Edition installation, database files and transaction logs are installed:

<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\UnwiredServer\data
  • Cache database:
    • Database file: default.db
    • Transaction log: default.log
  • Cluster database:
    • Database file: clusterdb.db
    • Transaction log: clusterdb.log
  • Monitor database:
    • Database file: monitordb.db
    • Transaction log: monitordb.log
For a separate Data-tier node, these database files and transaction logs are installed:
  • With a Microsoft cluster, in the Microsoft cluster folder you created:

    <Microsoft_cluster_folder>\CDB

  • With no Microsoft cluster:

    <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\Data\CDB

Sybase Control Center

Database files and transaction logs on each Unwired Server node:

<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\SCC-X_X\services\Repository
  • Database file: scc_repository.db
  • Transaction log: scc_repository.log
Note: When you make a backup, decide where to store the backup files: on the Unwired Server host or on some other computer or third-party hardware/software package used for backup purposes.
