Back Up Cloudera Manager Server

note

Commands are provided below to backup various files and directories used by Cloudera Manager Agents. If you have configured custom paths for any of these, substitute those paths in the commands. The commands also provide destination paths to store the backups, defined by the environment variable CM_BACKUP_DIR, which is used in all the backup commands. You may change these destination paths in the command as needed for your deployment.

The tar commands in the steps below may return the following message. It is safe to ignore this message:

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
