Backup and Recovery

This chapter explains how to back up Parallels H-Sphere system and user data.

Backup of the Control Panel server with the PostgreSQL system database is done by the Parallels H-Sphere backup script. It requires PostgreSQL client version 7.3 or higher installed and the psql program available in the system paths on the CP server.

Backing up content on the Unix servers is performed manually. See the backup and recovery list of Parallels H-Sphere related directories and files.

We recommend that you set up a separate server to store backup archives.
