Backing Up a Combined Storage Configuration
 
Preparing for the Backup
Precautions and Alternatives
If your Broker Server uses a combined storage session and it has no Brokers that belong to a territory, you can back up the queue storage files using the file system's copy command.
Note:
If your Broker Server hosts Brokers that belong to a territory, you must back up your Broker Server's metadata by exporting it to an XML or ADL file. If any of the Brokers include gateways, be sure to export the gateway definitions, too (available in XML export only). For information about the export feature, see Exporting and Importing Broker Metadata.
