BackupDomain

BackupDomain

Backs up the configuration metadata for the domain. infasetup stores the backup domain metadata in a backup file with an extension of .mrep.
You must shut down the domain before you run this command.
When you run this command,
infasetup
 backs up the domain configuration database tables to restore the domain to another database. You must back up the ISP_RUN_LOG table contents manually to get the previous workflow and session logs.
If the command fails with a Java memory error, increase the system memory available for infasetup. To increase the system memory, set the -Xmx value in the INFA_JAVA_CMD_OPTS environment variable.
The BackupDomain command uses the following syntax: 
BackupDomain

<<-DatabaseAddress|-da> database_hostname:database_port|

<-DatabaseConnectionString|-cs> database_connection_string>

[<-DatabaseUserName|-du> database_user_name]

[<-DatabasePassword|-dp> database_password]

<-DatabaseType|-dt> database_type

[<-DatabaseServiceName|-ds> database_service_name]

<-BackupFile|-bf> backup_file_name

[<-Force|-f> overwrite_file]

[<-Tablespace|-ts> tablespace_name]

[<-SchemaName|-sc> schema_name (used for Microsoft SQL Server only)]

<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name

[<-DatabaseTlsEnabled|-dbtls> database_tls_enabled]

[<-DatabaseTruststorePassword|-dbtp> database_truststore_password]

[<-TrustedConnection|-tc> trusted_connection (used for Microsoft SQL Server only)]

[<-EncryptionKeyLocation|-kl> encryption_key_location]

[<-DatabaseTruststoreLocation|-dbtl> database_truststore_location]
