I am using xnmloadmib so I will be able to make backup copies of the /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin for the backups

Thanks for your help.

Don't know about Cisco switches and MIBs,  but making backup MIB databases depends on how you built the ones you have.
How did you load your MIBs?  
xnmloadmib creates two files to make his MIB database: /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib  and /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin
You can copy these  and rename them as backups any time you wish.
If you used xnmloadmib2, the files are /usr/OV/conf/snmpv2mib and /usr/OV/conf/snmpv2.mib.  Same procedure.

Sorry but I don't know what you would do for the java loader from the web client.
