Backing up user data
All IBM® Sametime® Advanced user data is stored in an IBM DB2® database, and can be backed up using the DB2 backup commands.
About this task
Database backup and recovery is fully outlined in the topic Developing a backup and recovery strategy, in the DB2 product documentation.
The only special backup consideration for Sametime Advanced is that because the full text indexes are maintained outside of the database tablespaces, after a restore operation the dbtext.sh or dbtext.bat scripts should be run to drop and recreate the text indexes to match the restored data in the database. You can find these scripts at CD1/SupportingFiles/DB2.
