Artifacts Included in Environment Backup but Not in Maintenance Snapshot

The following artifacts are included in Environment Backup but not in Maintenance Snapshot:

• Files that were uploaded to the environment, including snapshots that you uploaded.
• Files that you created by exporting artifacts from the environment.
• Audit data. Snapshots of all business processes other than Planning, Planning Modules, Profitability and Cost Management, and Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management include audit information.
• Job Console data. For Planning, Planning Modules, FreeForm, and Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, job console data is not included in the snapshot.
• Data Management Staging Table Data. Using the LCM Mode feature, customers can take a snapshot of staging table data from the Workbench. To export and import this data, use the exportDataManagement and importDataManagement EPM Automate commands or the Data Management System Maintenances Scripts interface.

To create an identical copy of an environment, including audit data, job console data, Data Management staging table data, and stored snapshots and files, use the cloneEnvironment EPM Automate command or the Clone Environment feature.
