File system backups
File system backups are required to protect the NetBackup IT Analytics application directories, files, and OS-specific settings, such as the registry and services for Windows. The file system backup should also capture the nightly database export, which resides in the file system.
Use your company's backup method of choice to perform the file system backup. While a full system backup is recommended, we have identified the key files created by NetBackup IT Analytics.
The file paths are shown with Linux usage, with the Windows-specific file system noted.

Note:
When backing up the above directories, follow the symbolic links to back up the source directory. For example: /user/java is typically a symbolic link to /usr/java_versions/jdk<version>
These symbolic links may vary in your environment. Check the Certified Configurations Guide for the latest third-party and open source versions.
