Administering HCL VersionVault
Learn about performing administrative tasks for an HCL VersionVault community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, VersionVault server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
Backing up critical HCL VersionVault data
Like all databases, VOBs, views, and the HCL VersionVault registry have special backup and restore requirements.
Backing up VOBs with standard backup procedures
If you do not use the vob_snapshot utility, you must take special precautions to ensure the integrity of VOB backups made with standard backup tools.
Determining the location of the VOB storage directory

Determining the location of the VOB storage directory

About this task

To determine the location of a VOB storage directory, use the HCL VersionVault Administration Console or the cleartool lsvob command.

cleartool lsvob –long /vobs/sources
Tag: /vobs/sources Global path: /net/neptune/vobstg/sources.vbs . . . VOB on host: neptune VOB server access path: /vobstg/sources.vbs

If your backup program runs locally on the VOB server host, it probably accesses the VOB by using the VOB server access path. If your backup program runs over the network, it probably uses the Global path. Specify the appropriate pathname for your backup program.
