Backing Up the Internal Database
Procedure
Step 1
Open a DOS window and go to the MySQL
bin
directory located by default at one of the following
locations:
C:\Program Files\MySQl\mysql-4.0.21-win\bin, or
C:\MySQl\mysql-4.0.21-win\bin
Step 2
Run the following DOS command to export the contents of the internal database to a file called mydump:
mysqldump -u root --all-databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction > mydump
Step 3
Save the mydump file to a safe location.
Backing Up an MSSQL 2005/2000/MSDE Database
This section is only relevant if your Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager installation is using an
external MSSQL database. For demonstration purposes, we assume the installed Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager database name is “temp_db” and that the database owner is “temp_user”.
You can modify the database name and its owner name during the installation process.
Procedure
Step 1
Use Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager or Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager
Management Studio to access temp_db.
MSDE database does not include a management console by default. You need to use an external
management console to connect to a MSDE database.
Step 2
Right-click
temp _db
and select
All Tasks > Backup Database
, or
Task > Backup
to create a database
backup file.
Assume the name of the backup file is “temp_db.bak”.
Step 3
Save temp_db.bak to a safe location.
