Performing database backups
Cisco TMS stores all its customer data in its SQL database named tmsng.
Backup the SQL database using standard Microsoft SQL backup procedures.
Backups should be stored away from the Cisco TMS server for maximum protection.
TMS Agent database backup
To perform a backup of the TMS Agent database, go to
Administrative Tools > Configuration > TMS
Agent Settings
. The installer automatically places the provisioning database (OpenDS) backup in the Cisco
TMS backup folder (by default, <TMS folder>\wwwTMS\Data\Backup\opends).
Also note that Cisco TelePresence Management Server is delivered with remote SQL access disabled. If
you enable remote access to the SQL Server for backup purposes, be sure to change the SQL sa password
from the default password. If you change the SQL password, update TMS Database Connection properties
using the Cisco TMS Tools application which can be accessed from the Start menu under Cisco
TelePresence Management Suite.
