Please advise how we can backup the sas files during 9.4 mantaince upgade.
What is being suggested here is NOT just a backup of SAS files and folders but a FULL backup which by definition means all SAS Servers' drives are completely backed up - absolutely everything on them.
When this is done, it means that if anything serious happens during the upgrade, you can do a FULL restore, which will put your SAS servers back in the same state they were before you started your upgrade.
Typically these types of tasks are done by IT server administrators and all you have to do is request a full disk backup from them, you don't need to know the mechanics of how they do this. I'm hoping this makes things clearer for you.
thanks....
how we can take full backup of SAS installation and configuration directories
whats steps need to keep in mind while upgradation from sas9.4 m3 to m4
Since any system in production use MUST have an incremental backup for recovering the system in case of total loss, this seems to be a non-issue for me. If you do not have that in place already, then total data loss is obviously tolerated.
