Description

This discusses how to use the the backup_export utility (provided with the product) to take a full server backup CAR file.

Issue/Introduction

I need to take a full server backup of my TIBCO Data Virtualization Server. Is there a command-line script for automating this task?

Resolution

You can use the utility backup_export.bat (on Windows) or backup_export.sh (on Unix). The utility is located under <install directory>\bin.

Example
C:\apps\TIBCO_DV_server7\bin\backup_export.bat -server 172.23.6.85 -port 9410 -pkgfile E:\support\tests\backup_export_test\FullServerBackup.car -user admin -password admin -verbose

The utility does not provide any scheduling options. Therefore, if you want to run it on a periodic schedule, you will need to use a scheduling program. For instance on Linux OS, 'cron' would serve the purpose.
