Backing up Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager data on Windows before upgrading to version 7.4
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.
