mkdir /data/backup

then change to that directory:

cd /data/backup

2. Backup the configuration files by running these commands:

     a. Host file:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cbhosts.tar /etc/hosts

     b. Yum files:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cbyum.tar /etc/yum.repos.d

     c. IP tables:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cbiptables.tar /etc/sysconfig/iptables

     d. Cb Unified View configuration:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cbconfig.tar /etc/cb/

     e. Rsyslog configuration:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cbrsyslog.tar /etc/rsyslog.conf

     f. Rsyslog.d configuration:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cbrsyslogd.tar /etc/rsyslog.d/

     g. Logrotate configuration:

tar -P --selinux -cvf cblogrotate.tar /etc/logrotate.d/cb-logrotate.conf

3. Perform a backup of the Postgres Database:

     a. Backup configuration:

  pg_dump -C -Fp -f psqldump_config.sql cb -p 5002

     b.  Backup users and groups:

pg_dumpall -p 5002 --roles-only -f psqlroles.sql

4. Copy the backup location off to a remote location

Restore Steps

1. Stop Cb Unified View:

service cb-unifiedview stop
