17.4 Backing Up ZENworks Components

We recommend that you implement the following backup best practices:

Take a reliable backup of the ZENworks database and Audit database on a regular basis. For more information on how to back up the ZENworks database, see the ZENworks Database Management Reference.
Procure and note down the credentials of the database.
- For an internal database, use the following commands:
  
  zman dgc -U administrator_name -P administrator_password
- For the embedded Sybase audit database, use the following commands:
  
  zman dgca -U admimistrator_name -P administrator_password
- For an external database, contact the database administrator.
Take a reliable backup of the ZENworks Server (this only needs to be done one time). For instructions, see Backing Up a ZENworks Serverin the ZENworks Disaster Recovery Reference.
Take a reliable backup of the Certificate Authority. For instructions, see Backing Up the Certificate Authorityin the ZENworks Disaster Recovery Reference.
