Use the Maintenance Shell to manually create a backup file of the Configuration Server databases. Only the mega user can perform the server database backup.
You can also run maintenance commands on the Configuration Server console.
Before you begin
Ensure that the mega user has read and write permissions for the backup folder.
Ensure that the database server has a network connection with the Configuration Server you must back up.
Ensure that the database server has at least 5% of space available. Use the df -h command to check the available disk space.
If you change the user password, update the password in the all file.
