Backing up Client Security Management Pack for MOM
Applies To: Forefront Client Security
The Client Security Management Pack for MOM contains all of the data and rules for determining how MOM manages applications, services, and devices. Backing up the Client Security Management Pack for MOM is vital to restoring your Client Security environment.
Although backing up the collection database (or OnePoint database) also captures this information, backing up the management pack separately allows you to reimport it separately from the database. This can be useful in cases when you must roll back changes in the management pack.
To back up the Client Security Management Pack for MOM, use the MOM Import/Export Management Packs wizard.
You can also export the management pack from a command prompt.
Note
Report definitions are not exported along with the other MOM objects defined in that management pack. Report definitions are backed up when you back up the SQL Server reporting database (ReportServer database).
