Hi 1. I would not recommend running the mds_backup script during working hours because no GUI clients should be connected during the backup. Better to script it some time during the night where normally nobody is connected.
2. Yes. It does backup the whole MDS including CMA. Default is also backup log files but you may or may not want that. Take a look at the mds_exclude.dat file. 3. It will backup all directories. Not just conf/database/lib. So why change it? I see no reason atleast. And remember: Always verify that the backup works before you finish the implementation. :) Regards, Torkel > -----Original Message----- > From: Vedantam sekhar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 8. februar 2005 13:24 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [FW-1] Question on Provider-1 > > > Hi, > > We are using the Checkpoint Provider-1(On secure > platform) for managing the multiple firewalls at > different locations.The question now is about the > mds_backup utility in Provider-1 which is for taking > the back-up of the Provider-1. > > 1.
