InterSystems IRIS/Caché Database Configuration

The following configuration is required to back up the InterSystems IRIS/Caché database.

1. Configure the client for IntelliSnap.

   The physical servers that host the InterSystems IRIS/Caché installation files and databases must contain volumes that can be snapped at the hardware level.

2. Create a backup set that will contain the full instance (installation files, databases, and journal files).

   Create a subclient for the entire instance. The content for this subclient will use the Caché moniker (for example, %CACHEDB%). You perform an IntelliSnap backup on this subclient.

   The full instance subclient must be created in a separate backup set. Do not create additional subclients under this backup set.

3. Perform a backup copy of the database backup.

   To view the full instance backup content logically, both IntelliSnap backup (with Skip Catalog option) and Backup Copy operations must be run.
