BackupData

Backs up HDFS data in the internal Hadoop cluster to a zip file. When you back up the data, the Informatica Cluster Service saves all the data created by Live Data Map, such as HBase data, scanner data, and ingestion data.
Note: Use the infacmd ihs BackupData command when you upgrade the Informatica Cluster Service.
The infacmd ihs BackupData command uses the following syntax:
BackupData

<-InformaticaClusterServicePort | -icsp> infa_cluster_service_port

<-LocalDirectory | -ld> local_directory

[<-TLSEnabled | -tls>] TLS_enabled
