Archiving Data
Archiving is the process of storing database backup files to a remote system over the network, together
with other critical external files. You can use the Cisco MeetingPlace Express Administration Center to
configure the system to automatically archive data. However, if you want to manually archive data,
follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Log in to the Cisco MeetingPlace Express operating system as the
mpxadmin
user.
Step 2
At the password prompt, enter the mpxadmin password.
The Cisco MeetingPlace Express operating system desktop appears.
Step 3
Right-click on the desktop.
Step 4
From the menu, select
New Terminal
. This brings up a terminal session.
Step 5
Manually archive the data by entering the following:
sudo $MP_DATABASE/db-maintenance/archive.sh
Step 6

Restoring Data
Restoring data recreates the database server data from backed-up storage spaces and logical log files. You may
need to restore your data if you need to replace a failed disk that contains database server data, if there is a
logic error in a program that has corrupted the database, if you need to move your database server data to a
new computer, or if a user accidentally corrupts or destroys data.
To restore data up to the time of the failure, you must have at least one L0 backup. The restore is done using
the Informix command called
ontape
. Cisco MeetingPlace Express provides a script called restore.sh that
guides you through the restore process. The script is in the $MP_DATABASE/db-maintenance directory.
Caution
You can only restore a database that is from the same version of the Cisco MeetingPlace Express
product. You cannot restore a database from a previous version.
The names of the databases that you are restoring from and restoring to must be the same.
Follow these steps to restore data:
