Use the native System Manager backup and restore function for the long-term backup and recovery of the entire cluster of Session Manager.
backupSM and backupSM -e commands create backup files called Session_Manager_backup.tgz (non-encrypted) and Session_Manager_backup.zip (encrypted) respectively, and stores it in the home directory of the account running the command. For example, if the cust user runs the command then Session Manager stores the backup file in /home/cust.
Note:
When using encrypt option, ensure that you make a note of the passphrase used during the backup.
restoreSM command requires the path to the backup file created during backup.

Note:
This procedure only backs up administration data.
