Backing Up an ACL-Protected Broker Server
To back up an ACL-protected Broker Server, you must be authorized to administer the Broker Server. Depending on whether you have configured basic authentication or SSL authentication, you must supply the credentials when you run the utility:
*For basic authentication, supply the user name and password.
*For SSL authentication, supply:
*The name and location of the keystore file
*The password for the keystore file
*The distinguished name that identifies you as an authorized administrator of the Broker Server
*To back up the Broker Server using the server_conf_backup utility
1. On the machine where Broker Server is installed, navigate to the following directory:
Software AG_directory/Broker/bin
2. Run the following command:
server_conf_backup backupFile -h host:port [-k keystore –p password
–ttruststore] [-bu basic-auth-user -bp basic-auth-password] [-e] [-o] [-v]
