Backup M3 Business Engine

Stop all M3 BE environments and all SQL Server services and back up all disk subsystems on both application server and database server, including all operating system files, SQL Server files and all database files.

Afterwards, start the SQL Server services again and run all created jobs:

  1. System DB backup
  2. M3 Business Engine DB backup
  3. Trans log backup
  4. Check integrity
  5. Rebuild all indexes and statistics maintenance.
