Backing Up the File System

Regularly perform backups of the Sybase Unwired Platform files and directories.

Avoid backing up individual artifacts. Instead, Sybase recommends that you perform regular backups of entire directories as part of your disk backup schedule.
Note: At the same time the folder and disk backup is performed, update the Windows registry.
  1. Plan the frequency of the file system backups to coincide with any changes made to the system, including:
    • Metadata changes (such as deployment of new mobile business object packages to the server)
    • Configuration changes (such as new enterprise information system connection)
  2. Back up application artifacts, by using Sybase Control Center to export packages. This preserves each deployed package in an alternate location. See Sybase Control Center online help > Manage > Managing Unwired Platform > Routine Command and Control Actions > Deploy > Exporting Package Content.
  3. Back up the contents in these Unwired Server directories:
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\bin
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\config
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\logs
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository
  4. Back up the contents of your system servers:
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\Advantage910
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\MessagingServer
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\SQLAnywhere11
  5. Back up the contents of these Sybase Control Center directories:
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\SCC-X_X\conf
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\SCC-X_X\services\repository\repository.db
    • <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\SCC-X_X\log

To maintain a consistent backup state, Sybase recommends you back up the data consolidated database at these times as well. See the next task (Backing Up System Data) in this sequence.
