Ops Center

How to backup OPS Center VMs without Protector. We have netbackup for backup.
Am looking for pre and post scripts to stop services before backing up and start post backup.
Also want to know which components or mount points to be backed up as per best practices.

This is a fairly broad question and the answer can vary depending on your Ops Center deployment and the components installed.

Since Ops Center can consist of multiple products, it is generally recommended to consider each component individually when planning application-consistent backups. This may include components such as:

• Ops Center Administrator
• Ops Center Analyzer
• Ops Center Common Services
• Ops Center Automator
• Ops Center Protector
• Ops Center Configuration Manager

A common approach when using a third-party backup solution such as NetBackup is to quiesce the environment by stopping the appropriate Ops Center services before the backup and restarting them afterward. Once the services have been stopped, NetBackup canback up the Ops Center VM like any other host.

For guidance on starting and stopping Ops Center services, refer to the product documentation:

• Starting and Stopping Ops Center Services

For backup scope (components, directories, mount points, and recovery considerations), review the documentation for the specific Ops Center products and version deployed in your environment, as requirements can differ between components and architectures.
