Backing Up the Existing SVN Repository

This section describes how to import the SVN repository when the CRD schema is modified.

To take a backup of the existing SVN repository and store it on another environment, use the following configuration:

  1. Log in to the PCF Central GUI.

  2. On the Cisco Policy Suite Central page, navigate to Policy Builder and click the Import/Export link.

    The Import/Export form opens.

  3. In the Export tab, select the All data option to configure the export type.

    The following table describes the export/import options:

    Export and Import Options

    Parameters

    Description

    All data

    Exports service configuration with environment data, which acts as a complete backup of both service configurations and environmental data.

    Exclude Environment

    Exports without environment data, which allows exporting configuration from a lab and into another environment without destroying the new system's environment-specific data.

    Only Environment

    Exports only environment data, which provides a way to back up the system-specific environmental information.

    Export URL

    The URL can be accessed from the Policy Builder or viewed directly in Subversion.

    Export File Prefix

    Provide a name (prefix) for the export file.

    Note

    The exported filename automatically includes the date and time when the export was performed.

  4. If you want to export the file in the compressed format, select the Use 'zip' file extension check box.

  5. Click Export.

  6. Navigate to the file and save it to your local machine. The file must include the cluster name and date.
