Hello, Richard;
Normally, the only daemons you should stop are netmon and snmpCollect to ensure 
that no writes into databases occur. Or
you can execute ovstop to stop all the daemons. Also, it is a good idea to 
prevent users with write access from
modifying the databases.Then tar /usr/OV/databases.

Best regards,
Vladimir.
