Backup and Restore Procedures


This section is intended to assist system administrators to back up and restore the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager database and configuration files.

Overview, page 2-1

How to Perform Backup Procedure, page 2-2

How to Perform Restore Procedure, page 2-4

Overview
There are many reasons for performing system backups on a regular basis. While it is usually assumed
that backups are necessary only in cases of disk crashes or other physical disasters, most such cases are
application-related. For example:

User mistakes

Application bugs

Power failure

Disk corruption

Any other kind of physical disaster

To restore Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager data, stop the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing
Manager service before restoring the database, configuration files, branding and sound files. Restart the
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager service after restoration is complete.

Backing Up the Database


The database backup procedure supports MySQL database version 4.0.21. This section describes how to
back up MySQL database version 4.0.21.
Procedure
Step 1

Open a DOS window and modify the current directory so that the default path points to the MySQL bin
directory.
The default MySQL installation path is:
C:\Program Files\MySQl\mysql-4.0.21-win\bin

Step 2

Run the following DOS command to dump the contents of the MySQL database to a file called mydump:
mysqldump -u root --all-databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction > mydump
where

-u root indicates that the user account root is used to run this command. Root is the default
administrator created during MySQL installation.

--all-databases means that all databases are to be backed up.

--add-drop-table ensures that drop table SQL statements are generated for every dumped table.

--single-transaction ensures that you do not need to stop the MySQL service when you back up the
database.

By default, you do not need to provide a password for local root login. However, if you change
the root user password, you should add the text -p password to the command line. For example:

mysqldump -u root -p rootpassword --all- databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction >mydump


Step 3

Save the mydump file to a safe location.
