How to Back Up Unsealed Management Packs

  • Article

Applies To: System Center Service Manager 2010 SP1

Use Windows PowerShell to identify and copy your unsealed management packs to a folder on your hard disk drive. Once they have been copied, save these management packs so that, as part of your disaster recovery plan, you can later import these management packs.

To back up unsealed management packs

  1. On the computer hosting the Service Manager management server, create a folder on the hard disk drive where you will store the backup copy of the management packs. For example, create the folder C:\mpbackup.

  2. On the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows PowerShell 1.0, right-click Windows PowerShell, and then click Run as administrator.

  3. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, enter the following commands:

    Add-PSSnapIn SMCmdletSnapIn

Get-SCSMManagementPack|where-object {! $_.Sealed}|Export-SCSMManagementPack -Directory C:\mpbackup

  4. Save the unsealed management packs on a separate physical computer.
