BACKING UP THE LIBRARY CONFIGURATION
Overview Keeping valid backup copies of your library’s configuration, the
MLM and DLM databases, and BlueScale encryption keys ensures that you
can easily restore the library in the event of a disaster. Having a backup of
the library’s configuration is also extremely useful if problems require you
to replace the LCM or the memory card in the LCM. After the replacement
procedure is complete, you can use the saved configuration to restore the
library’s settings, including the partitions, instead of having to manually
re-enter all of the information.
Note: If the MLM database contains a large number of MLM and DLM
records, generating the Auto Configuration Save file can take
several minutes.
Options The library provides two methods for backing up the
configuration:
Automatic — See Use Automatic Backup of the Library Configuration
on page 144.
Manual — See Use Manual Backup of the Library Configuration on
page 144.
If you have valid backups of the library’s configuration and MLM
database, you can use them to restore the library (see Restoring the Library
Configuration on page 376).
See Back Up and Protect the Library Metadata on page 511 for additional
information about backing up the library’s configuration information, the
MLM database, the DLM database, and any BlueScale encryption keys.
Backing up the library configuration also backs up any BlueScale encryption keys
that are stored in the library at the time the file is created.
The backup configuration can only be used to restore the library that generated the
backup. The configuration is tied to the Hardware ID of the library and cannot be
transferred to another library.
