Back up environment resources
When upgrading HCL VersionVault, back up critical resources before you begin the upgrade. These back up files can help you recover any information, files, or configurations that might be lost or corrupted during the upgrade.
Back up the following types of resources before upgrading.
- VOBs
- Registry directory and client list
- Tasks subdirectory of the scheduler directory (scheduler/tasks)
Do not back up or copy the db file. It cannot be preserved across release upgrades and will be regenerated automatically the first time the scheduler runs after the upgrade.
- Shipping directory
- Any custom job scripts
- The albd.conf file that specifies the albd_server configuration.
- The vob_scrubbers_params template
The following table provides the default
directory paths to the resources to preserve. All paths use versionvault-home-dir for the default VersionVault installation directory:
- Windows: versionvault-home-dir is C:\Program Files\HCL\CCM\VersionVault
- Linux and UNIX: /opt/HCL/CCM/versionvault
