A quick and dirty method I use is to 'tar' the /usr/OV/databases subdirectories,
then go and delete all the files under /usr/OV/databases/openview. Restart the
netview daemons, (might have to use ovw -fields aswell) and the rediscovery is
off and running. This probably isn't the recommended method, but I've used it
without problems.

Subject: Backing up Netview 4.1 AIX Databases

I'd like to be able to rediscover our network using a new seedfile,
basically starting from scratch. However, I would like to be able to go
back to my current situation if necessary. How do I backup and restore the
Netview databases necessary to do this. I'd like to do this on the hard
drive rather than tape if possible.
Thanks,
John M.
