Backup Strategy

This section describes the components of SuperSTAR that should be backed up as part of a normal backup process.

SuperSTAR Components

Component	Backup...	Default Installation Location
SuperSERVER	The SuperSERVER Program Data directory.	C:\ProgramData\STR
SuperSERVER	Any files such as DLLs that are co-located with the SuperSERVER executable. The need for any such files depends on your usage of plugins to the SuperSERVER APIs.	C:\Program Files\STR\SuperSERVER SA
SuperCHANNEL	Any JDBC drivers that you have installed.	C:\Program Files\STR\SuperCHANNEL\jar\drivers
Production System	All configuration files. These may be located on a server or on client machines, or partly on both depending on the installation and configuration requirements. Start with the file sa2ps.config.xml.	C:\ProgramData\STR\SuperSERVER SA
SuperCROSS	All configuration files (this includes all ini files and xml files). These may be located on a server or on client machines, or partly on both depending on the installation and configuration requirements.	C:\ProgramData\STR\SuperCROSS
SuperSTAR Databases	All sxv4 database files and any configuration files that are co-located with the sxv4.
Annotations Repository	The annotations repository for each sxv4 that has annotations defined.	The annotations SQLite database is co-located with the sxv4 it relates to; the filename uses the convention <databaseid>.sxv4.sqlite.db.
SuperSTAR Metadata Repository	Your metadata repository using the mechanism associated with the RDBMS where it is stored
SuperWEB2	The webapi directory. The User Data Repository (if configured; stored in an RDBMS). The Job Queue Manager database (if applicable). Any JVM/Tomcat parameters (e.g. settings you have configured in setenv.bat). The SuperWEB2 configuration settings from SuperADMIN. You can use the following command in SuperADMIN to export your current configuration settings to a text file: CODE `cfg save <filename>`	The webapps directory under the Tomcat installation, your selected RDBMS and SuperADMIN.
SuperVIEW	The SuperVIEW directories (check the SuperVIEW URLs to confirm the directory names). Any JVM/Tomcat parameters (e.g. settings you have configured in setenv.bat).	The webapps directory under the Tomcat installation.

User Defined Files

Backup the following user defined files:

Component	Backup...	Usually Located In...
SuperSERVER	SuperADMIN macros The SuperSERVER catalogue Log files if required	C:\ProgramData\STR
SuperCHANNEL	config.txt sxv4drv.conf SuperCHANNEL XML project files SuperCHANNEL run logs (if required)	C:\ProgramData\STR
Production System	All TXDs Run logs (if required)	User defined
SuperCROSS	All TXDs Recodes User Defined Fields	User defined
Other	Any batch files or scripts written to assist with system usage	User defined
