Backing up Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager data on Linux before upgrading to version 7.3

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
We recommend that you back up data before you upgrade Management Server to a newer version. If the upgrade fails, you can reinstall the previous version and restore the backed up data for that version.
To take the backup, use the vom_bkup.pl script that is available on the Management Server host.
Before you take the backup, review information on what is supported, and the limitations.

  2. To take the backup, run the script at the command prompt:
/opt/VRTSsfmcs/config/adm/vom_bkup.pl --backup dir
where, dir is the location that you specify for creating the backup. You can specify any location except /var/opt/VRTSsfmh, /opt/VRTSsfmh, /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs, or /opt/VRTSsfmcs.
