Determining the Scope of the Backup
Table 11-2 defines directories which should be backed up. This is a good starting point for the scope of the backup. Note that for NNM 6.x you really don’t need to deal with all this, since ovbackup.ovpl is already coded with this information. This script acquiesces the database writes, backs it up to a known location, and logs the results of the backup in the $OV_TMP/ovbackup.log file. See the ovbackup.ovpl manpage for more information.
