4.4 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 PostgreSQL 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 and Restoring the ZENworks Server and Certificate Authorityin 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.
