Please remember that the data directory should be backed up in your disaster recovery planning as well (e.g. copied periodically to an offsite location).

Thanks,
Tim

That will probably solve the problem. We used /tmp as the data directory.
 
Thnx,

Dear Dimi,
 
Where did you place your data directory?  
It sounds like you may have placed it in a location that the server deletes (like /tmp for example). 
 
Please can you use the ipt users lists for this kind of discussion to ensure everyone benefits.
 
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
 
We are trying to have an IPT up and running in the institute. When we reboot the server we lose everything what we entered in IPT and we need to go through the setup process again. Are you aware of problems like this, is there a solution?
 
Thnx,
Dimi
