More on backing up your Portal Server

I blogged last week on the importance of backing up your Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.  I do think it's easy, especially in a z centric environment, to overlook the necessity of backing up this component. 

One reader mentioned that they use the migrate-export script provided by IBM to handle the backup of the TEPS database.  This is certainly a valid way to do it, and if you are unfamiliar with the process here is a link to the doc:

You have other options, as well.  Don't forget about the TACMD command that I've blogged about earlier.  The TACMD provides a mechanism to export things like workspaces to XML, and then importing these components.
