IPS - Backup

Hi folks,

I am having a hard time to understand the IPS Backup. I read the Information Plataform Services Administrator Guide that has a Chapter about Cold Backup and Hot Backup.

Unfortunately, I could not understand the procedure to backup BI Content. It says:

"It is recommended that you use the Lifecycle management console for SAP BusinessObjects Business

Intelligence platform to regularly back up your Business Intelligence content, such as reports, users and groups,

and universes "

I downloaded the guide:

Lifecycle management console for SAP BusinessObjects Business

Intelligence platform 4.0 User Guide and it mentions about Backing up Subversion files but nothing about reports, users and groups.

The other point is the LCM, I cannot not find it on CMC -> Applications. The IPS is version 4.1 SP6.

Thanks in advance,
