Yes I did Thanks: I have no idea why when I searched for VNX Monitoring and reporting data base backup I did not get this results. Thanks Again                 Article Number 000303855                Article Number 000334556 Issue This article explains only the procedure to manually backup the database used by VNX M&R. Diagnostic logs if taken, would take backup of configuration data.   How do I backup my VNX M&R database ?  Resolution There is only manual procedure to backup the VNX M&R database. This procedure is conceptually similar for VNX M&R running on Linux platform. Step by step procedure: Log into mysql database 1. Log into VNX M&R virtual machine as 'root' with default password 'watch4net' 2. Cd to :\Program Files\VNX\bin  3. Run 'mysql-client.cmd'  4. Enter 'apg' for username, 'apg' for database, and 'watch4net' as password   Lock database folders  5. \bin\lock-apg-database.cmd  6. \bin\lock-mysql-database.cmd   Once the database is locked, copy the following folders to a secure location  7. Go to :\Program Files\VNX\Databases\MySQL\Default\data  8. Copy 'apg' and 'master' folders to a secure location  9. Your are done with your VNX M&R database backup. There is no further script to run.    Notes By default the database folders are locked for 2 hours. So the maintenance mode would be 2 hours before all the locked database folders will automatically unlocked. But this maintenance period can be modified as followed: 1. Go to :\Program Files\VNX\Tools\MySQL-Maintenance-Tool\Default\bin  2. Right-click on lock-apg-database.cmd file and edit in Notepad  3. Change this parameter 'set WAIT_TIME=7200' to an hour for example  set WAIT_TIME=3600  4. Save the file    For anyone looking for basic information I copy the content of one KB.
