  Back Up the CTM Server
Verify the Disk Space for the Backup
Enter the following command to verify that your backup directory has enough disk space to hold a 
backup:
df -k
The default backup directory is /ctm_backup. You might have to delete the oldest backup to make room 
for the new backup.
Back Up and Restore the Database When the CTM ARCHIVELOG Mode Is 
Enabled
To perform a hot database backup, enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt:
# cd /opt/CiscoTransportManagerServer/bin
./backupdb.sh
The hot backup log file is saved under /{oraclesw9i | oracle}/admin/<ORACLE_SID>/udump/ 
backup_db.log. The log file contains a list of all files that have been backed up. The default Oracle SID 
is CTM.
If you need to restore the database from a hot backup, enter the following commands at the UNIX 
prompt:
cd /opt/CiscoTransportManagerServer/bin
./restore_db.sh <backup_file_location> <log_directory>
Note
The default backup file location is /ctm_backup.
Export and Import the Database When the CTM ARCHIVELOG Mode Is Not 
Enabled
If CTM ARCHIVELOG mode is not enabled, you cannot perform a hot backup. Enter the following 
commands to stop CTM and export the CTM database:
# ctms-stop
cd /opt/CiscoTransportManagerServer/bin
./export_full_db.sh
If necessary, complete the following steps to import the exported database from an export dump:
Step 1
Insert the CTM Server Disk 1 installation CD.
Step 2
Disconnect all of the CTM clients and enter the following command to shut down the CTM server, if it 
is running:
ctms-stop
Step 3
Enter the following commands to import the database, where the default backup file location is 
/ctm_backup:
