Step 5: Perform Pre-backup Operations

  • Artikel

In this step, we will perform some pre-backup operations. This will include backing up the SQL databases, and backing up the FIM Service using the new Configuration Backup tool provided in FIM 2010 R2, and backing up the FIM Synchronization Encryption Key and Server Configuration.

  • Create a backup folder.

  • Backup the FIM Synchronization Service Encryption Key

  • Backup the FIM Synchronization Service Server Configuration

  • Backup the FIM Service Configuration

  • Backup the FIM Synchronization Service and FIM Service databases

Create a backup folder

In this step we will create a backup folder and share it out so that it can be accessed from other servers. This will allow us to keep all of our backed up items together.

To create a backup folder

  1. Log on to FIM1 as CORP\Administrator

  2. Click Start, select Computer, and double-click Local Disk (C:).

  3. At the top, select New Folder and rename the FIMBackups.

  4. Right-click the FIMBackups folder and select Properties.

  5. At the top, click the Sharing tab.

  6. Click Share. This will bring up a File Sharing Window. Administrator should already be listed with Read/Write permissions. Click Share again.

  7. Click Done.

  8. Close FIMBackups Properties.

Backup the FIM Synchronization Service Encryption Key

In this procedure we are going to backup the FIM Synchronization Service Encryption key.

To back up the FIM Synchronization Service encryption key

  1. Log on to FIM1 as CORP\Administrator

  2. Click Start, select All Programs, click Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager, and click Synchronization Service Key Management. This will bring up the Microsoft Identity Server Key Management Utility.

  3. Ensure that Export Key Set is selected, and then click Next.

  4. Next to Account Name enter FIMSynchService

  5. Next to Password enter Pass1word$

  6. Next to Domain enter CORP

    Export key creds

  7. Click the “…” ellipsis button and navigate to the FIMBackups folder on C:\. Save. Click Next.

    export key save path

  8. Verify the backup location and then click Finish.

  9. When the backup is confirmed, click Close.

    export key success

    Note

    As a best practice, the encryption key backup should be stored in a different location than the FIM Synchronization Service database.

Backup the FIM Synchronization Service Server Configuration

In this procedure we are going to backup the FIM Synchronization Service Server Configuration.

To back up the FIM Synchronization Service Server Configuration

  1. Log on to FIM1 as CORP\Administrator

  2. Click Start, select All Programs, click Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager, and click Synchronization Service. This will bring up the Forefront Identity Synchronization Service.

  3. At the top, click File and select Export Server Configuration. You will be prompted with a windows that says not to run any management agents or modify the server settings. Click OK.

  4. This will bring up a Browse For Folder dialog. Navigate to the FIMBackups folder on C:\. Click Make New Folder and rename it ServerConfig. Click OK.

  5. Once this has completed, click OK.

    config backup

  6. Copy the folder with today’s date to C:\FIMBackups.

Backup the FIM Synchronization Service and FIM Service databases

In this procedure we are going to backup the FIM Synchronization Service and FIM Service databases.

To backup the FIM Synchronization Service and FIM Service databases
