27.1 Backing Up Registry Data

ClearCase registry data is kept in a group of files in the rgy directory on the registry server host. These are ordinary files that can, and should, be backed up regularly.

• On UNIX hosts, the registry directory is /var/adm/atria/rgy. All of the files in this directory should be backed up together and, if necessary, restored together.

• On Windows hosts, the registry directory is ccase-home-dir\var\rgy.

On either Windows or UNIX, all of the files in the registry directory should be backed up together and, if necessary, restored together. We recommend using a Windows backup utility that can back up files that are open for writing.
