 In some cases, CzechIdM is not deployed with frontend and backend bundled together in the ''idm.war''. When backing up such environment, the backend should be backed up the way as was just described. The frontend, which may be deployed somewhere else, should be backed up in a similar way using the same script. For example, when running frontend application from separate Apache HTTPD, you should deploy another backup script which backs up ''/var/www/html/\*'' directory instead of ''/opt/tomcat/current/webapps/\*''. In some cases, CzechIdM is not deployed with frontend and backend bundled together in the ''idm.war''.
