About this task
 Administering
client machines If you use IBM Content Navigator to connect to IBM FileNet® Content
for IBM Content
Navigator Manager repositories, you can include your IBM Content Navigator database
in the online backup of your IBM FileNet P8 system.
If you use IBM Content Navigator to connect to IBM Content Manager or
IBM Content Manager OnDemand, or if you do not run an online backup of
your IBM FileNet P8 system, you must back up your IBM Content Navigator
system offline.

If you are using Box as a repository in IBM Content Navigator, work with Box
and refer to the service-level agreement (SLA) that you have with Box to
determine the backup strategy and frequency that meets your business
requirements and recovery point objective (RPO). If it becomes necessary
for you to restore the Box repository, contact Box to request a restore.

If you are using IBM Content Navigator features that interact with a Box
repository with metadata stored in the IBM Content Navigator database, it
is highly recommended that you coordinate the backup of both the IBM
Content Navigator database and the Box repository with the same
frequency and time. Then, you can restore the repositories to a specific
point in time where the metadata in the IBM Content Navigator database
are synchronized with the objects in the Box repository.

Procedure
To back up IBM Content Navigator:

1. Back up your repository by following the documentation for your

repository.

2. Back up your IBM Content Navigator database by following the

documentation for your database.

3. Back up your IBM Content Navigator configuration profiles:
