About Backing Up and Restoring Content

To avoid accidental deletions, maintain appropriate security on all content that users create and maintain. To minimize loss of objects, maintain regular backups of your custom content.

Use these methods to back up content:

• Keep content in multiple environments by copying content using the archive and unarchive processes or P2T/T2T.
• Periodically back up your organization’s custom content using the archive process. See Create an Archive.

Use these methods to restore content:

• Restore content from another environment by using the archive and unarchive processes. See Move an Archived Object to a New Location.
• Restore content from a local archive.

Follow these guidelines when you use the archive and unarchive processes to achieve quick backup and restoration:

• Target specific reports or folders with smaller sizes..
• Avoid targetting folders with possibly large sizes such as the entire /shared/Custom folder.
