The maintenance backup process does not back up CMS software, operating system files, or non- CMS customer data on the system. For complete data recovery, both CMSADM and maintenance backups are required.

Consider the following before performing a maintenance backup:

• Backups run in the background. You can navigate away from the Backup Data page without affecting the backup.

• Running backups during archiving can cause performance problems. Run backups before or after the archiving process.
