The main reason you would want to if you had a central NMC server that you used 
to monitor many networker data zones in your environment. For example we have 
one that monitors and centrally manages over 200 data zones. If we lost the NMC 
DB we would have to add each one again to a clean install. Very time consuming.

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
