Download and Upload Snapshots
Download and upload features enable you to save snapshots to your local file system and upload them back to the cloud. Use these features to back up and restore your content or to migrate content between development, test, and production environments.

Download Snapshots
Use the Download option to save a snapshot to your local file system. This allows you to locally store and manage snapshots you take of your system.
The snapshot downloads as an Oracle Business Intelligence archive file (.bar
). The time it takes to download depends on the size of the snapshot .bar
file.
If you haven't taken the snapshot yet, you’ll need to do that first.
Upload Snapshots
You can upload a snapshot that you previously saved on your local file system. The time it takes to upload a snapshot depends on the size of the snapshot .bar
file.
When you upload a snapshot, the file itself is uploaded to your system but the artifacts stored inside the snapshot aren’t immediately available in your environment. Any snapshot you upload displays in the snapshot list. When you’re ready to do so, overwrite current artifacts, such as your catalog, with information from the snapshot.
The uploaded snapshot is displayed in the list of saved snapshots.
