Repository

The SAP Control Center embedded repository stores information related to managed resources, as well as user preference data, operational data, and statistics.

You can back up the repository database on demand, schedule automatic backups, restore the repository from backups, and configure repository purging options. Full and incremental backups are available. A full backup copies the entire repository. An incremental backup copies the transaction log, capturing any changes since the last full or incremental backup.

SAP recommends that you periodically move backup files to a secondary storage location to prevent the installation directory from becoming too large.

• Scheduling Backups of the Repository
  Configure full and incremental backups of the repository to occur automatically.
• Modifying the Backup Schedule
  Suspend or resume repository backups or change the backup schedule.
• Forcing an Immediate Backup
  Perform an unscheduled full or incremental backup of the repository.
• Restoring the Repository from Backups
  Load backup files into the repository database to revert undesirable changes or to recover from a catastrophic failure.
• Configuring Repository Purging
  Change repository purging options.
