Author Backing up a Configuration?

Are there any resources anywhere on backing up configurations in
WebSphere???

I've looked through the Admin handbooks, etc, I don't really see
anything incredibly revealing.

Covers 4.x - any idea how applicable to 5 this is?

Have you tried the "backupConfig.bat" in the "X:\WAS\AppServer\bin"?

It should be something like this:
backupConfig.bat -trace -user wasadmin -password wasadminpassword
or use
backupConfig.bat -help
for more options. There is also a "restoreBackup.bat", but I haven't tried
this one since I don't need it yet :-}

Provide your own WebSphere administrator's ID and password.

It's backing up lot of configuration files and portlets, but I don't see it
backs up the "wpconfig.properties" file. Therefore, I'm not sure "restore"
would work 100% if there is something wrong with WAS or WP.

With minor changes it should be applicable to v5 as well.
