Backup Connector

Usage

The Backup Connector saves the current system status or selected users or user groups and their data.

You can start the Backup Connector in accordance with a schedule to save data automatically at regular intervals.

The portal folder <inubit-installdir>/server/ibis_root/conf/portal is not backed up during the backup because restoring these versions will restore old versions that are incompatible with the installed Liferay version. This requires additional time and archiving effort. Hence, the portal folder of the target system is retained during recovery.
