Live cache backup

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to test live cache backup in SCM 5.0. We took a backup of data and then made changes to the data and then crash the data trying to simulate a disaster. After restore, if the data is same as the data before changes, our live cache backup is successful. But after we are always seeing the changes after restore.

Am I doing a mistake here?

If I have to take a backup of my data, should I take a backup of Live cache or the underlying Oracle database?

I would appreciate if you can refer to me to any documentation on backup procedure.

Thanks.

Again - check

and check the best practices document how to backup and restore a livecache instance.

Thanks for the reply. I could find SCM APO best practices but not live cache backup and recovery. Can you please provide the link for backup/recovery best practices?

Thanks.
