In Fathom Management 3.x and OpenEdge Management, there is a command that can be used to back up the fathom configuration.
This command backs up the Fathom project (fathomInstallDir/config/fathom.od*), fathom.properties and fathomRealm.properties.
The command is: fathom -dump <filename>
For OpenEdge 11 or higher, the username and password is needed:
fathom -dump <filename> -httpport 9090 -user admin -password passwd
<filename> is the name of the XML file that will contain an XML representation of all definitions in the configuration database.
The command can be run from command line or in a batch or script file and should be run periodically as part of site backup proceedures.
