About backup and recovery on Windows
Symantec recommends that administrators perform backups of their entire system.
Perform system backups in case the Symantec Data Loss Prevention system crashes and needs to be restored
Administrators should follow all of the backup instructions that are in this section in the order in which they are presented.
Symantec recommends that your data storage administrator perform all backups of your incident attachment external storage directories.
Administrators who would prefer to back up only part of their system must determine which subsets of the system backup instructions to follow.
Recommendations:
1. Symantec recommends that administrators perform backups of their entire system.
2. Perform system backups regularly.
3. Complete system backups should be performed at the following times:
■ After installation
■ Before any system upgrades
■ Any time the system changes, such as when a Symantec Data Loss Prevention
■ Server is added to or removed from the system configuration
Calculating the total size of the backup on Windows:
To calculate the total size of the backup
1 Enter the size of the database here: ____133.31 GB
2 Enter the size of the file system files here: _____426 MB + 22.3 MB (\SymantecDLP\Protect\plugins,\SymantecDLP\Protect\logs)
3 Enter the size of the server configuration files here: ____483 KB (\SymantecDLP\Protect\config)
4 Add the size of the database to the size of the configuration files and file system files for a total size here: ____134 GB Approx
Calculating the size of the database:
1. Run SQL PLUS as Administrator
2. Perform the following Tasks
Connect to database as SYSDBA
Run The Following Query
SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes)/1024/1024/1024, 4) GB
FROM (
SELECT SUM(bytes) bytes
FROM dba_data_files
UNION ALL
SELECT SUM(bytes) bytes
FROM dba_temp_files
UNION ALL
SELECT SUM(bytes) bytes
FROM v$log
);
Calculating the size of File System:
Calculating the size of Server Configuration:
Creating backup directories on Windows:
Create the following directories, preferably on a external storage device.
To create the backup directory structure
- Create a directory in which to store the backup files:
\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files
Remember that this directory should be created on a computer other than the
one that hosts the database, the Enforce Server, or the detection servers.
- Create the following subdirectories in which to store the backup files:
\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\File_System
\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Server_Configuration_Files
\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Database
\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid
Performing a cold backup of the Oracle database on
Windows
Cold backups are recommended primarily for non-database administrator users.
You perform a cold backup by
■ Stopping the Symantec Data Loss Prevention system
■ Shutting down the Oracle database
■ Copying important files to a safe backup location
Steps to perform a cold backup of the Oracle database |
Step 1 | Create recovery aid files. |
Step 2 | Collect a list of directories that should be backed up. |
Step 3 | Shut down all of the Symantec Data Loss Prevention and Oracle services. |
Step 4 | Copy the database files to the backup location. |
Step 5 | Restart the Oracle and Symantec Data Loss Prevention services. |
You should create recovery aid files for use in recovery procedures. A trace file of
the control file and a copy of the init.ora file are very helpful for database recoveries.
The trace file of the control file contains the names and locations of all of the data
files.
The init.ora file contains the initialization parameters for Oracle, including the names
and locations of the database control files.
To generate a trace file of the control file
- At the command prompt,
enter sqlplus /nolog.
- At the SQL> command prompt, to connect as the sysdba user, enter
connect sys/password@protect as sysdba where password is the SYS password.
- After receiving the Connected message, at the SQL> command prompt, enter:
alter database backup controlfile to trace as
'C:\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid\controlfile.trc';
Success is indicated by the message "Database altered."
With this command you are generating a copy of the backup control file and
outputting this file to the \SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid directory
that you created previously.
- Issue the following command to backup the init.ora file.
create pfile='C:\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid\init.ora' from spfile;
exit;
- Navigate to the C:\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid directory. You
should see the controlfile.trc and init.ora files in this directory.
- Rename the file controlfile.trc so that it can be easily identified.
controlfilebackupMMDDYY.trc
Connect To Database as sysdba
Collecting a list of files to be backed up
You can create a list of files that need to be backed up. These lists are used in a
later step.
To create a list of files for back up
1. Open SQL*Plus using the following command:
sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
2. Enter the following SQL commands to create lists of files that must be backed
up:
SELECT file_name FROM dba_data_files
UNION
SELECT file_name FROM dba_temp_files
UNION
SELECT name FROM v$controlfile
UNION
SELECT member FROM v$logfile;
3. Save the list of files returned by the query to use in the following procedures:
C:\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid\oracle_datafile_directories.txt.
4. Exit SQL*Plus:
exit;
Creating a copy of the spfile on Windows
After you generate a trace file of the control file, you must create a copy of the
spfile.
Performing a cold backup of the Oracle database on Windows
To create a copy of the spfile
1. In Oracle SQL*Plus, at the SQL> command prompt, enter:
create pfile='C:\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Recovery_Aid\inittemp.ora' from spfile;
2. To exit Oracle SQL*Plus, enter: Exit
Shutting down the Symantec Data Loss Prevention system on Windows
To shut down the system
1. On the computer that hosts the Enforce Server, navigate to Start > All
Programs > Administrative Tools > Services to open the Windows Services
menu.
2. Open the Services menu and stop all running Symantec Data Loss Prevention
services, which might include the following:
Vontu Update
Vontu Incident Persister (on the computers that also host the Enforce Server)
Vontu Manager (on the computers that also host the Enforce Server)
Vontu Monitor (on the computers that also host a detection server)
Vontu Monitor Controller (on the computers that also host the Enforce Server)
Vontu Notifier (on the computers that also host the Enforce Server)
3. On the computer that hosts the database, stop the OracleService
databasename, where databasename is the Global Database Name and SID
selected during installation.
Stop All Vontu Services
Stop All Oracle Services
Copying the database files to the backup location on Windows
The database files that should be backed up include the files in the \protect directory and the database password file.
To copy the database files to the backup location
1. Make sure that the Oracle services are stopped.
If the Oracle services are not stopped, the backup files may be corrupt and unusable.
2. On the computer that hosts the database, copy the files from the list that you
Collected in the procedure collecting a list of files to be backed up to the computer that hosts the backup files.
Copy the protect directory into the c:\Symantec_DLP_Backup_Files\Database directory of the computer that hosts the backup files.
3. On the computer that hosts the database, select the
%ORACLE_HOME%\database\PWDprotect.ora file and copy it into the c:\Backup_Files\Database directory of the computer that hosts the backup files.
OR
Run the Database_Files_Backup.bat From Attachment to Backup All the Files.
Modify .bat File if required.
Restarting the system on Windows
To restart the system
=> Start all of the Oracle services:
OracleServiceDATABASENAME
=> On the computer that hosts the Enforce Server, start the Vontu Notifier service
before starting other Symantec Data Loss Prevention services.
=> Start the remaining Symantec Data Loss Prevention services, which might
include the following:
Vontu Manager
Vontu Monitor
Vontu Incident Persister
Vontu Update
Vontu Monitor Controller
Backing up the server configuration files on Windows
To back up the server configuration files
1. Select the \SymantecDLP\Protect\config directory.
Copy it to the
\SymantecDLP_Backup_Files\Server_Configuration_Files Directory on the computer that hosts the backup files.
OR
