Back Up and Recover NIM

Administration & operations

Protect NIM configuration before a problem occurs: define a backup routine, retain recovery points, and verify that restoration guidance is ready when it is needed.

1

Create repositories and backups
Manage configuration repositories and use them for backup and restore operations.

2

Schedule backup operations
Run backup work on a deliberate schedule that matches your organization’s recovery objectives.

3

Use snapshots for recovery points
Capture point-in-time configuration before significant changes and know when to use a snapshot versus a repository backup.

Test recovery using a controlled process before an incident. Record backup ownership, retention expectations, and the location of the recovery documentation with your operations team.
