Backup and restore

If you want to install a new version of DigDash Enterprise or migrate to a new environment (from a test environment to a production environment, change the server machine, etc.), you can back up and restore the data in your current environment:

• Users, roles and authorisation groups,
• Dashboards,
• Wallets and data models,
• Images, data dictionaries (translations, formats, connections, colour palettes, etc.), etc.
• Data sources: data sources in the Common Datasources directory can be backed up.

There are two ways of backing up/restoring data:

• Manual: you need to select the items you want to back up and then generate a zip file that you can then use to restore them to the new environment or version.
  See the page Manual backup and restore page for more details.
• Automated: via the backuptools.jar tool to be run on the server.
  See the page Automated backup and restore (backuptools) page for more details.
