The backup process allows you to take a snapshot of your application, including Experience Manager content and search configuration, user information, and permission data.
This process does not include the provisioning information for an application.
For backup purposes, a Guided Search application is composed of three pieces:
Application configuration — the configuration stored in the Endeca Configuration Repository for a particular application, including Experience Manager content.
Application state — the
%ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF%\state\directory contains information about your application state, including user and permission settings, preview application settings, content XML, and resource metadata.Workbench configuration files — XML and properties files that customize the behavior of an Oracle Workbench installation.
The application state and configuration constitute an application backup. Backing up the Workbench configuration ensures consistent handling of Workbench users when migrating or restoring an application.
