Operations MN

1. The following directories and files must be backed up on Operations MN:

   • /usr/local/pem (the root of Operations MN).
   • /etc/init.d/pau
   • /etc/init.d/pa-agent
2. Most importantly, ensure you back up the pleskd.props file located at /usr/local/pem/etc. This file stores the encryption key for your CloudBlue Commerce installation, which cannot be retrieved if lost. You should apply your corporate security policy related to such sensitive data as encryption keys to this file. Do not store the backup of the Operations MN with the backup of your encryption key.

3. To back up your Operations MN, run the /usr/local/pem/bin/backup.sh script on your Operations MN as root:

   /usr/local/pem/bin/backup.sh [-o output_directory] [–z] –t mn

   where

   • -o output_directory specifies output directory (optional, default, current directory)
   • -z compresses with gzip (optional)
   • -t mn is the tag which specifies that management node files should be backed up

   Note: The Operations MN can run during backup script execution, so backup can be performed on a “live” system without interrupting business.

4. The format of the backup file name is backup-YYYYMMDDhhmm-mn.EXT,

   where

   • YYYYMMDDhhmm is the time when the backup was started (a time stamp)
   • EXT is a backup file extension: tar if the -z option was omitted, tar.gz if the -z option was specified
