After you have installed and configured IAS, back up the IAS database file _Adminui.mdb before running IAS for the first time. _Adminui.mdb is stored in the IAS directory.
Important
It is essential that you back up the IAS database at regular intervals. If you do not back up the database and have inadvertently deleted one file in the IAS directory, or if your system experiences a system-wide corruption, you can lose all of your configuration data.
