Hi,
        In case you are not interested in the NMC reports then there is
no point in backing the gst database. Keep in mind, nothing inside the
/nsr (except for the mm and res that are part of the bootstrap) are
backed up. This is because of the presence of a local directive .nsr or
nsr.dir on these directories. And Yes, all the configurable resources in
the NMC are from the /nsr/res/nsrdb and this gets backed up as
bootstrap.

Subject: [Networker] Backing up NMC database?

How often should the gst database for NMC be backed up? Should it be 
backed up after or before the server runs its own backup?

Is this even necessary? I'm not really interested in any of the reports 
or logs that are contained in there. As far as I know, everything I need

is either contained in the /nsr/logs directory, which gets backed up 
when the server runs its normal backups (every day) or the bootstrap, 
which also gets backed up by the server's regular group. If I needed to 
rebuild the resource database, it would be a DR scenario, requiring the 
bootstrap, correct? I mean, all the group, schedule, client, device 
configuration information, etc. - basically everything I see under NMC -

is in the resource database which is captured with the bootstrap, right?

Thanks.

George
